Principal Client Survey – For Staff
INTRODUCTION
One of the things that we value in the School District of Clayton is feedback about how
we do our work. Client surveys are an essential component of gathering this feedback,
which we know contributes to our professional growth. I would appreciate it if you would
please take the time to provide your impression of Mary Ann Goldberg, our principal at
Wydown Middle School. You have my personal assurance that all responses will remain
completely anonymous. It would be helpful if you could complete this survey sometime
within the next two weeks.
Please click on the link below to take the survey. Thank you for taking the time to
participate in a process that will provide each of the District's administrators with
essential feedback about how we do our work. We will use these survey results in a
positive way to ensure that our building administrators are best serving the needs of the
District.
Sincerely,
Don Senti
