District Accountability Advisory Committee (DAAC) Parent Survey Available Now through March 5th!
Each year 9-R parents are asked for their opinions of our schools by taking a survey. In years past, the survey was sent out via mail --- this year, the survey is online.

The survey requires a password (previously provided to parents by their school). To take the survey, please click on the appropriate link below.
