As many of you may be aware of, schools received one-time, short-term use federal funds called ESSER funding due to COVID.
There are specific areas we are allowed to spend this funding, but would like input from you, the community to share your thoughts with us on what you feel are the greatest needs.
The more people providing their input the better and this will be sent out to families as well. Please take a few minutes to fill out this survey by December 11th (this coming Saturday): https://forms.gle/9Evw8VXQA2RTdfF87
