Dear Parents/Guardian,
This spring will mark the fourth year when parents, teachers and students will have an opportunity to give feedback on their schools.
The School Leadership Team and the Parents Association have come up with an incentive to further encourage parents to complete and submit the survey. Parents who bring their completed surveys in the sealed reply envelope or proof of completion on-line will receive early/priority admission on open school evening/afternoon. Although teachers will not begin conferencing early, by bringing the documentation and gaining entry 15 minutes early, you will be able to get to the front of the lines and see the teachers as soon as the conference begins.
The voices of parents, students, and teachers count in two important ways. Survey results are reported to school leaders and the public through Survey Reports which are instrumental in improving schools. Survey results also count for 10% of schools’ yearly Progress Report grades.
Our students’ response rate for 2009 was very high at 84% however; the parent response rate has been low at 20%.
Please submit your surveys as we are hoping to improve our participation rate and support Midwood High School.
To submit your survey online, please go to
Thank you.
Continental Studios will be returning in the near future to take yearbook pictures of those students who didn't take them and for those who want retakes.
Providing Support in Haiti
Midwood High School supports the efforts to identify necessary supplies and relief to the victims of Haiti's earthquake. Our students and faculty will be working with our locally elected officials to assist in the collection of whatever is needed for the victims of this tragedy.
The Red Cross has already established a means for donating $10 by sending a simple text message. If interested in making this contribution please visit the Red Cross website at www.redcross.org. Mayor Bloomberg has also established means for individuals to provide donations and relief at www.nyc.gov/fund .
Central brooklyn is home to many families who have immigrated from Haiti and Midwood High School has a large number of Haitian students. The impact of this tragedy is immense and the need for our community to come together in support is critical. We will continue to establish means for community members to support these efforts and will post such information on our website.
Anyone trying to contact family members in Haiti are asked to call 1-888-407-4747 for assistance.
