HOS Parent Survey Report
On Thursday, April 14th at this month’s PAC meeting, Head of School Michael Ackerman presented the results of this year’s parent survey. In addition to a recap of the data, the report included a narrative addressing common feedback and action steps related to areas of growth and continued improvement at AHS. PAC will be distributing the report via an email blast and a copy of the report can be found on the school’s website and is also available at the school’s Main Office. Thanks to all for your participation in this year’s survey and your continued attendance at our Parent Advisory Committee meetings!
