TUHSD World Languages Student Survey

Please take a few moments to tell us about your experience as a language student in our District. Your feedback will help us better understand how to design and deliver a meaningful and relevant language education. While you are free to mention teachers by name, this survey is meant to help us evaluate our entire program - therefore, the most helpful comments are those that focus on your overall experience. Thank you!
