Reading Survey

One of the areas of concerns for parents in the district is reading: how it's taught, how the children learn, what happens if your child doesn't learn to read right away. We'd like to hear from you. If the response to our survey is large enough, we hope to present our findings to the School Administration and The Board of Education.

While we build our site, the best way to help us collect this data is to fill the form out, print it out and fax it to us at 914-358-2529 or mail it to: Nyack PIE P.O. Box 167 Nyack NY 10960
