FRS Survey Due
2021-12-01
This survey is for FRS parents and guardians. If your student is too young to be in person on Tuesdays, please answer what you think it would be like if they were old enough to be in person. We are sending this survey to seek feedback regarding our hybrid approach of in person learning on the weekends and distance learning on Tuesdays. The survey is looking for information on how parents feel about the in person/online learning given the current situation with Covid-19. The final question asks about outside Covid-19 restrictions. We wanted to take the pulse of the FRS community regarding the hybrid option.
Please also email Dr. Krigel your detailed comments if you’d like at eliyahu@h-nt.org. We will continue to reevaluate and modify this program. The results of the survey will be used in the shaping of FRS policy going forward. It will be presented to the Board and the FRS parent committee.
Thank you for your participation and for sharing your feedback! The survey can be submitted without your name attached. All answers will be aggregated together without names attached; names will only be used if leadership wants to ask follow up questions on specific answers.

Students from the Mercer Island Presbyterian Church will be joining our 3rd – 5th grade on March 6 for the Shalom Project. The Shalom Project is generously funded by the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle. Tshishiku Henry from Jewish Family Service will be with us on Zoom to tell his compelling firsthand account of resettling in the Seattle area after being a recent refugee. Tshishiku is a case manager at JFS for their resettlement program. We will also have a speaker on Zoom from the Refugee Women’s Alliance. We are adopting refugee families and would appreciate your assistance in collecting household items. We’ll be meeting on March 6 but it’s not too late to support this important resettlement effort. Please help contribute by filling out this form and signing up: h-nt.org/refugees
