What Can We Do Better?
Aramark is excited to bring you their Student ViewPOINT survey, which collects feedback from students about their overall dining experience at our school. The insights gathered from this survey will help Aramark to enhance their food service program to better meet the needs and expectations of our students. For the first time, Aramark is going to invite elementary students to participate in this survey! It might be fun for you and your child to complete the survey together.
At the conclusion of the survey period, Aramark will publish a report summarizing the survey results. The online survey can be completed between February 24 and March 18, 2022. The online survey can be taken anywhere – in school, at home, or on the go, and it requires less than 15 minutes to complete (www.studentVP.com) .
I hope that you will support this important initiative to help us improve the service that we provide to our students.
If you have any questions regarding this survey, please contact Ms. Danielle Walter, Assistant Food Service Director, at dwalter@neshaminy.org .
