School Calendar Question

School Calendar Question

 

The PEI Home and School Federation is trying to measure the cost to Island families of Professional Development Days (PD Days) for childcare, babysitting or other activities.  We are doing this because the School Calendar is in the process of being reviewed, and we want to ensure that the true cost to Island parents of PD Days is considered when decisions are being made. 

 

We have developed a one question survey using Survey Monkey on a Facebook page and would like you to help us spread the word about this survey to everyone in your school family. 

 

Presidents are asked to:

1.   Respond to the survey yourself; and

2.   Forward this message using your Facebook account or email, to families (parents and

      teachers) in your school, asking them to do the same.

 

 

Here is your direct link to the survey:  http://tinyurl.com/pei-school-calendar

 

NOTE: It takes only 1 minute (or less) to click on the survey link, read the question, fill in the box and click Done.

 

 

Deadline:  June 13th/12 

 

 

Thank you.
