School board sends home parent surveys

When should students head back to school in the fall? This is one question parents will answer on a written survey conducted by Clarkston Schools. The survey will be mailed to all families during the week of Nov. 15.
The survey’s purpose is to determine the overall feelings of Clarkston parents to the school calendar and schedules. Results of the survey will be tabulated by Oakland Schools and the information will be shared with the Calendar Planning Committee. All information provided by parents will remain confidential and all responses will be tabulated to provide a clear picture of parent opinion.
‘Staying in touch with the concerns and ideas of our parents is essential to the overall success of our district,? said Superintendent Dr. Al Roberts. ‘There are new challenges each year for school districts across Michigan, we simply want to know if our current calendar is heading in the right direction.?
Completed surveys can be returned to any school building or mailed to the Administration Building at 6389 Clarkston Rd., P.O. Box 1050, 48347-1050. Surveys must be received by Nov. 24. For more information, please contact Anita Banach at 248-628-5420.
