Dear Parent,
We, together with Nobel Learning Communities, Inc., are constantly working to improve our school. We are requesting five minutes of your time to complete a brief survey about your experience at your Merryhill Elementary. The information you provide will help us make our schools better for our families. Between January 5th and January 7th, you will receive an email containing a link to our online school survey. If you have not received your survey by Friday, January 8th, please contact me for assistance.
Please be assured that all your answers will remain anonymous and only combined answers will be shared with the Principal and Executive Director. Note, you may receive and respond to two different surveys if you have children in two separate schools. Also more than one parent may receive and respond to this survey if you furnished us with both email addresses. To ensure that you receive the survey in a timely manner, please add schoolsurvey@mghus.com to your email address book. Doing so will greatly improve deliverability.
The New Year is here and the temptation to make extraordinary resolutions is upon us. It is also a time to reconfirm our past commitments. Here, at Merryhill Elementary we resolve to engage and challenge each student by providing:
- A rigorous, standards-based curriculum
- Personalized assessments and learning plans
- Experiences that develop 21st century skills such as creativity, collaboration and communication
- A warm and nurturing learning community
It’s time to start planning for the coming school year. Please watch for the 2016-17 registration materials to arrive to you in the mail by the end of January.
We thank you for choosing Merryhill as the best school for your child. It is a honor to be such an important part of your family and your child’s education. This is a responsibility we take to heart.
Warmest Regards,
Theresa Gotay, Principal
