📣 We Need Your Voice, SPE Family! Each year, the district partners with a research group to gather parent feedback through the 5Essentials Survey—and it’s that time again! Last year, Sabal Palm met all participation goals and showed growth in several areas. That’s something to be proud of—and a clear reflection of the strong, positive culture we’ve built together. Let’s do it again! ✅ Please take a few minutes to complete the survey: 👉 2025 Duval Parent Survey: https://survey.5-essentials.org/duval/?target_name=parent&p=1 Helpful tips before you begin: - You do not need to enter your email address. - Be sure to read carefully on the page that asks “How true are the following statements”—some questions are worded in a tricky way, so take your time to ensure your answers reflect your true feelings. 💬 Your feedback matters—it helps us grow and celebrates all that makes Sabal Palm such a special place. Thank you for your time, your voice, and your continued support! Amber Felts Principal, Sabal Palm Elementary

Good afternoon, Each year, the district hires a company out of Chicago to do a parent survey to find out how the schools are doing. It is that time again. Last year, we were the first to finish the required minimum and we had one of the highest satisfaction rates. I am very proud of that. This is truly a time for you to show the district what a great culture we have here at Sabal. So, please take a few minutes to take the survey (link below). I do want to direct you in two areas. One, you don't have to put in your email. Also, the one page that reads "How true are the following statements" tries to trick you with the way the statement is worded so, please be very carful in reading that page so you put the answer you truly want to add. 2025 Duval Parent Survey Link to survey: http://survey.5-essentials.org/duval/survey/parent/ Please complete this survey as soon as possible! Thank you SPE family! Amber Felts, Principal Sabal Palm Elementary
