Planning for Success in 2026-2027 Planning for Success in 2026-2027

Your voice matters! Please join us for our Spring Stakeholder input meetings for Anne Streets school improvement plan.

It is that time of year when our school starts to look at data from this school year (2025-2026) and plan for the next school year (2026-2027). As part of this planning process, you will be invited to share your feedback about our school's Title I Parent and Family Engagement Policy, the School-Parent Compacts, and the use of Title I Parent and Family Engagement funds. Make your voice count by attending a feedback meeting and by filling out the upcoming GSCS 2026 Spring Parent Survey.
