Sweeny November 2018 Newsletter

November 1, 2018

Dear Sweeny Families,

Each year we take time to gather feedback from our Sweeny Families. This allows us to see what things we are doing well and what areas we can improve in. It is super helpful to us if we hear from as many of you as possible. Would you take 10 minutes and let us know what you think about Sweeny Elementary?
