ELEMENTARY PTA TRANSITION SURVEY
We want your feedback!

FINAL DAYS FOR SURVEY
Please complete this short survey by March 17  to help us understand traditions that are important to you and your recommendations for the new PTA. We'll use this feedback to help inform decisions related to the new PTA unit.
