Mrs
Mrs. McKinley's Parent Survey
2002-2003
Welcome to Pizitz! Your child has already learned quite a bit--new locker combinations, lunchroom codes, how to get around the school and about our rotating schedule. I hope that amidst all of the "newness" of Pizitz, your child is also learning exciting new things. My name is Cameron McKinley and I am honored to have your child in my sixth grade computer class this semester. We will cover many topics in a short time with my overall goal being that your child becomes a lifelong learner, always wanting to know MORE! You are such an important part of your child's education and that is the reason for the survey. The time flies by in one semester and I try to get to know my students as people, not just students. In order to do that successfully, I need to know a little bit about you, too. I believe that the teacher/parent relationship can truly affect a child's educational success. Thus, I encourage you to be involved in your child's learning each day. I have a few questions I would like for you to answer. Your answers are important. Technology is such an exciting field and I know many of you have expertise and experience we could learn from in our classroom. . Please return the survey with your child by Friday, January 24, 2003!
Your child will receive a special bonus coupon when this form is returned!
