The Paragould School District provided students with a Virtual Learning Day on Friday, October 16. We would like your feedback on how we can improve in the areas of academics, student support, and time management. Your insights into our virtual learning implementation will help us ensure a safe, caring, and exciting educational environment. Please complete the survey for each school age child you have in the Paragould School District. For example, if you have three students, you will need to complete the survey three times, one for each child. The survey is open until Friday, October 23. Thank you in advance for your feedback.
