Survey for Extended Learning Time

Take the survey for extended learning time at Winthrop Schools.

Strong schools are a foundation for a strong community. Communities that have better schools typically have better home values and employment prospects. Therefore, Winthrop Public Schools is looking at ways to better prepare our children for a highly competitive global society. One way to better help our students is to redesign the school day so that students have more opportunities to learn new things and partake in more activities.

As any changes to the school day affect our families and the broader community, we are very interested in your views. Your responses to the questions in this short survey will help as we make decisions about the school day. Thank you for your participation!
