Dear Needham Public Schools Families:

As our COVID-19 Advisory Committee and staff Task Forces continue planning
for the reopening of school in September, it is critical to understand the
concerns and perspectives of our families. (You may access COVID-19
Advisory Committee presentations here: June Advisory Meeting/Presentation
<https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/17ILu7IeFM0V8-0qrAi1rPWIRYwhoTdOWE-LLpdttWLE/edit?usp=sharing>
and
July Advisory Meeting/Presentation
<https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1PRCWlSMP2ZoOfsubjyDPUDmXeVBH_twFZxifSZKW5Vo/edit?usp=sharing>
)

We are grateful to the 2,642 families who participated in the District
Survey
<https://drive.google.com/file/d/1uUKlHCsInYlLKPPUJE8KCGyGqzsO1xfp/view?usp=sharing>administered
in June, which is a 46% participation rate, and we will continue to
incorporate their responses and suggestions into the planning process.

Now we are asking *all* NPS families for specific information so we can
understand how best to support your children and your families.  We need
you to please take a few minutes to complete this survey:  July NPS Family
Survey <https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/July-Family>

I expect to provide additional information about our school reopening plans
in the next few weeks.  Next Thursday, July 23rd at 5:00 p.m. School
Committee Chair Andrea Longo-Carter and I will host a virtual Open House to
share initial planning and ideas and respond to questions and comments.
The link to the Open House will be sent early next week.

Please complete the survey now!  July NPS Family Survey
