As this year closes, I would like to get your feedback on the services your student(s) received this year in either with the Primary Talent Pool or with Gifted and Talented. If you are a teacher and a parent, it would be great if you could complete the survey for each role. I welcome all feedback, for that is how we can grow. Please click the link(s) that apply to you. Your student can complete his/her survey through the link in his/her google classroom or by clicking on the link.
