Attention students from the Class of 2023!
If you graduated or exited in the school year 2023 and had an IEP, SPS wants to hear from you!
Now that you have been out in the world for a while, we want to hear how you are doing so we can make high school a better place for all our students.
The past year has been challenging in so many ways. If you tell us about your challenges and successes since high school, you will help us understand whether our schools are preparing students to be successful in adult life. You will help us think about how to do a better job supporting students who are in high school now.
Were you able to find a job?
Did you continue your education after high school?
Do you have suggestions for your former high school?
We’d love to know.
