Dear Crocker Farm
Families:
As we mentioned in the
last Crocker Chronicles, the Amherst-Pelham Schools have formed a partnership
with the UChicago Impact to provide us with reliable, ongoing data for school
improvement. Between March 23rd and April 15th, all Amherst Schools
will partner with UChicago Impact to survey students in grades 4, 5, and 6 as
well as the staff in our school. In addition, UChicago Impact provides a
parent survey component.
Today, students began
taking the survey in their computer/technology classes. Parents and
guardians can take their survey using this link: http://survey.5-essentials.org/amherst/survey/parent/
Your identity and survey
responses will be kept completely confidential and will never be connected to
you or your child.
The components of the
5Essentials:
1.
Ambitious
Instruction: Classes are
challenging and engaging.
2.
Effective
Leaders: Principals and teachers
implement a shared vision for success.
3.
Collaborative
Teachers: Teachers
collaborate to promote professional growth.
4.
Involved
Families: The entire
staff builds strong external relationships with families.
5.
Supportive
Environment: The school is
safe, demanding, and supportive.
It is vitally important that we hear from all of
our Crocker Farm Families. To that end, we thank you for taking the time
to complete this short survey. Certainly contact one of us if you have
any questions.
Sincerely,
Derek Shea, Principal
and Sharri Conklin, Assistant Principal
