AVID PARENT SURVEY FOR SENIORS [|parent_survey.pdf]
In one year your child will be starting college! This is an exciting time but also scary and somewhat stressful. I would like to know your feelings about some of the issues to be considered as your child starts the process of applying to colleges. I know this might be a sensitive issue and I don’t want to invade your privacy, but your answers to these questions will help me help your child in the college selection and admission process. If you don’t feel comfortable answering any of the questions or would rather speak with me personally, please email me at jlemaster@guhsd.net.

Thank you,

Mr. LeMaster
