Dear Parents and Families,

Your participation in the 2027–2028 School Needs Assessment Survey is very important! Your feedback helps us identify the academic, social, and educational needs of our students and determine which programs, services, staff, and resources should be prioritized for the upcoming school year.

By completing this survey, you help ensure that parent voices and family perspectives are considered when making important decisions about how school resources are allocated to support student success.

**Your voice matters!** Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and help us continue improving Jaime Escalante Elementary School for all students. Please scan Q R Code to access the survey.

Survey Due : 11/20/26

In order to deepen parents’ understanding of how school funds support plans for student achievement and to provide opportunities for parent input in plan development and decision-making, schools must hold an annual stakeholder engagement meeting, the Annual School Goals and Budget Development Consultation Meeting, prior to the budget development in the spring semester. All families are invited to this meeting. A needs and assets assessment, along with other data, including results from the California School Dashboard, will be shared with parents and connected to the goals and actions defined by the school for student achievement and success.
