AGS Survey for Parents and Guardians

In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Alaqsite’w Gitpu School has been actively strategizing and organizing all their services and departments in preparation for the return of students in September 2020. In order to meet the needs of all students, they are reaching out to all AGS families to participate in this very important survey.

To ensure we are all prepared for various modes of teaching and learning, it is very important that families have an opportunity to relay their needs in terms of their unique home situation. The survey will help them plan and support all families with their children’s educational needs. Please do not hesitate to reach out to the AGS principals if you have any questions regarding the survey.
