Accreditation - Parent Surveys

Hants East Rural High is in the process of Accreditation. During this process, we examined our strenghts and challenges, set goals for improvements, and implemented strategies to help meet these goals. Recently all staff and students were asked to complete surveys so that we could measure our progress towards achieving those goals. When course selection sheets go home with students on March 25th, a survey for parents will also be sent home. We value your input and hope that you can find time to complete the survey and return it to the main office. When surveys are returned, you will receive a ballot for $100 prize draw.
