Dear Bobcat Families,

As part of our commitment to continuous improvement, Coosa Elementary will soon participate in the Leader in Me Measurable Results Assessment (MRA). This survey provides valuable feedback from students, staff, and families about our school culture, leadership, and overall effectiveness.

Your voice matters! The insights gathered through the MRA help us celebrate our strengths and identify areas where we can grow to better support our students.

More information, including how to access the family survey, will be shared soon. We appreciate your partnership and support in helping Coosa continue to grow as a Leader in Me school.

Warmly,
Dr. Goudy
