Dear parents, students, and teachers

Thank you for your participation in the SurveyMonkey developed by the Northgate feeder pattern school leaders to asses stakeholder attitudes about our schools on a variety of topics. Participant response numbers were as follows:

	Students	Parents	Teachers
Walnut Acres	353	196	19
Feeder Pattern	978	751	89

The survey results specifically for Walnut Acres and for the general Northgate feeder pattern are included for your review.  Various stakeholder groups will be discussing these findings to ensure that we are using this information to continue to build excellence at our school in support of student learning.

Thank you again for your participation in the information-gathering process.

Yours in student learning,

Colleen Dowd
