• Please Take Our Leader in Me Fall Survey

  Our school continues to implement a whole-school transformational process called the Leader in Me, which teaches 21st-century leadership and life skills to students and creates a culture of student empowerment based on the idea that every child can be a leader. We will be conducting surveys to learn more about key areas of strength and areas of needed growth in our school. In order for us to have a holistic picture of what is going on in our school, we are asking teachers/staff members, parents/guardians, and students in Grade 4 and 5 to participate.

  Please complete a survey (without sharing your name or other identifying information) that will be available through the weblink below. The survey is completely voluntary, but we do hope to get feedback from one member of every household. What you have to say is important to us!

  The parent/guardian survey takes about 12 minutes to complete and will ask questions about your child and about his or her experience in our school. If you have more than one child attending the school, you will be asked to think about the oldest child's experiences as you answer questions related to his or her growth.

  Please take this survey: https://www.leaderinme.com/s/ps-128-bensonhurst-ny/families 

  Please complete the survey by: September 29, 2023.  Thank you!
