Make Your Voice Heard...MRA Survey
Hello Falcon families! At GES, we work to learn and live the 7 Habits of the Leader in Me each day!
Now we are asking that each family complete this survey to assist us with future planning.
By assessing key areas of Leadership, Culture, and Academics, the MRA provides a clear picture of strengths and opportunities, helping schools set meaningful goals and track progress over time. We will use the MRA to gain valuable insights and create a roadmap for lasting improvement.
Please use the link below to complete the survey:
