Dear USD 379 family,
We are asking for your help as we begin the process to develop the 2022-2027 strategic plan for USD 379. Creating a plan that reflects our values and mission will require thoughtful input from you and many others. The perspectives and priorities of our district families are essential to this process that will guide our focus and work in the years to come.
Please consider taking 10 minutes this week to complete our online survey:
https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/USD379
We hope you’ll take this opportunity to be open and honest about our district. Rest assured, your feedback will be anonymous. The survey includes an option to provide your name if you wish to request a follow-up conversation; this is not required.
Thank you for allowing us to be your partner in your child’s education. We are grateful for the community’s support of USD 379, and we thank you in advance for taking a few minutes to complete this survey before the weekend.
Sincerely,
Brett Nelson, Superintendent of Schools
Apryl Peerson, President of the Board of Education
