The Willow Glen Elementary PTA is continuing our participation in the National PTA School of Excellence program to grow our family-school partnerships and enrich the educational experience and overall well-being of all students in our community.

 

As part of the process, National PTA requests feedback from families, administrators, and teachers at two points in the school year -- the beginning and the end.  We have used your responses from the first survey to implement an action plan for continuous school improvement.  In addition to our other considerable enrichment efforts, we decided to focus particularly on Community Engagement in 2024.

 

To that end, we've furthered our relationships with River Glen, Schallenberger, and other local schools by sharing information, best practices, and cross-publicizing events.  We've engaged with San Jose State on library and educational advocacy.  We continue our amazing work with the City of San Jose to put on the community-focused Willow Glen 5K.  We've partnered extensively with the Willow Glen Business Association and local businesses for our Auction and many of the local business community's events.  And our field trips have taken us to History San Jose, DeAnza, the Discovery Museum, the Youth Science Institute, Happy Hollow, and beyond.  

 

And that's just part of the work we've done in Willow Glen and San Jose, not to mention the phenomenal work of our Tiger Cares team... but now it is time for our second survey!  We are proud of what we have accomplished so far, and kindly ask for your feedback once again.  Your responses will not only help us show our improvements but will also provide us with more information as we continue to build upon our efforts to enhance family-school partnerships in the future.

 

Please take 5-10 minutes to reflect on your experience at this school and complete the attached survey.  Mark the response that most accurately expresses how you feel about your experience.  This survey is completely anonymous, but please complete it by May 15.

 

 

All Best,

Nate Perez
