In support of the district mission and goal to promote environments that are socially, emotionally, and physically conducive to learning, we have developed surveys to collect perceptual data from our parents and students.

The School Climate Survey, K-5 Lake Street School Parent is available on the district's website at www.vernonschools.com. On our cover page, parents can click the “star” icon to be directed to the list where all parent surveys appear. By clicking on the appropriate school-level link, the survey will launch. http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/LSSPARENT.
Here is a Parent/Guardian Letter from Dr. Mary P. Conway, Superintendent of Schools, regarding the 2011-2012 Vernon Public Schools Calendar. If the link in the attached letter is not working, please visit http://www.vernonschools.com/ to access the survey.
