Forest North News, Learn, Love, Soar
 

Do you have 2 hours to commit to improving our school this spring?! Forest North is conducting a collaborative comprehensive needs assessment (CCNA) to better understand and address our students’ needs, and we need your help in two short meetings:

April 22 and April 29

3:15-4:15

The meetings will bring together administrators and staff, parents/parent representatives, community and business leaders to

-  Review current data

-  Identify strengths and areas in need of growth

-  Suggest possible goals for the future

During the meetings, we’d also love to collect data from the group by recording the members’ perceptions of our school.

All that in 2 hours! Your time and input could really make a difference for our school. Just click here to volunteer: Join the FNE CCNA Team. Thank you for considering.
