In the spirit of diversity, equity, and inclusiveness, we would like to ask parents of the TJ community questions directly from the U.S. Department of Education National Center for Education Statistics about their experiences and concerns from the past academic year. The survey intends to measure the strengths of the TJ community-building effort, opportunities we should pursue, and concerns we should address so that we can build the optimum supportive environment for TJ students and families.
