2011 Parent Survey

Lorena ISD is currently conducting end-of-year parent surveys.  We want to ensure that we are meeting the needs of every student on each campus.  Parent feedback is critical to this goal.  If you are an LISD parent, please take a few minutes to complete the survey located on the district website:  http://www.lorenaisd.net/.  Look for the 2011 Parent Survey Link located at the bottom of the home page.  Thank you so much for helping make Lorena ISD great!
