Family Survey: Health Office Happenings Newsletters
 

Dear Brackett Families,

I am seeking your feedback on the benefit of our monthly Health Office Happenings Newsletters. These newsletters were created to provide families with relevant health information and news at the elementary level. The purpose in eliciting this feedback is to make sure that we are meeting our goals, and adjusting our practice as needed in order to be most beneficial for our school communities.

I appreciate your input!
Nurse Baras
