MY VOICE PARENT SURVEY

My Voice Parent Survey measures your perceptions of your experience and your child’s experience at Arrowhead. The Billings School District wants to learn how you view the teaching and learning that occurs at our school, and how those views align with our mission and vision. All teachers and 3rd-5th grade students at Arrowhead will be taking a short student and teacher My Voice Survey to get their perceptions as well. 

This survey is completely anonymous and takes less than 10 minutes to complete. The survey must be completed between today and December 16, 2014.

The Arrowhead Science Fair will be held Thursday, March 27th in

the gym. All projects should be brought to school Thursday morning

between the hours of 7:00 a.m. – 8:15 a.m. as there will be nowhere

to put them prior to that time. Please remind your child to pick them

up Thursday, right after school.

Presently, the students should have their projects well under way.

Most have purchased their boards and are working on the labels

that go on the board. Some projects take more than one session:

for example plants etc. The journal should have a minimum of five

entries, all dated. The students have handouts on the abstract,

journal and board. Look at the rubric they will be graded on to see

what else is required. We are so excited to see all of the great

projects! If you have any questions, please email or call me: Linda
