EVALUATION
Bi-annual principal and parent surveys will be conducted by SBHC and the YMCA and results shared with SBHC and the YMCA.  Parent and Student Satisfaction Surveys will be among the tools used for evaluation.  Surveys will employ a Likert scale, which asks respondents to specify their level of agreement to a statement.
