We are asking all parents and guardians to complete our 2025-26 Title I Parent & Family Engagement Survey.

This survey helps us understand:
• How well we are communicating with families
• If parents are aware of available resources and programs
• What types of workshops and support families would like to see
• How we can improve family involvement at Halstead

Your feedback directly helps us plan for next school year and strengthen the connection between home and school.

The survey only needs to be completed once per family either on paper or digitally, even if you have multiple children at Halstead.
Please return the completed survey by March 13, 2026.

You may also complete the survey online using the QR code provided or by following this link:

We truly value your input and appreciate you taking a few minutes to share your thoughts. Your voice matters!

Thank you for partnering with us!
