Austin Tracy Elementary

ATE Parents/Families,

As part of our commitment to continuous improvement, we are conducting a survey in partnership with Studer Education to monitor our progress in creating a positive school experience for you and your child(ren). Your feedback is crucial in helping us identify areas for recognition and improvement.

As a result of last year's survey results, we have worked hard to improve communication with our families about where your student(s) are in their learning. This why we have had two rounds of parent-teacher conferences this year, and have encouraged teachers to communicate academic progress. We believe in having meaningful, honest conversations about how we can work together to help students be successful!

The survey will ask you to select the school your child(ren) attends. Providing feedback to each school should take a few minutes to complete. We appreciate your willingness to celebrate the great things that are happening at ATE while also sharing your thoughts on our areas of growth! Thank you for giving your time to help our school be successful!
