Community Feedback Survey

Fall 2026 Community Feedback Survey

Cox Elementary PTA knows that a strong partnership among our families, school leaders and community members is important to the success of our students and school. That is why we are taking part in the National PTA School of Excellence program, which grows partnerships between PTAs and schools to enrich the educational experience and well-being of every student.

We need your help. National PTA asks families, administrators and teachers for feedback at two points in the school year, the beginning and the end. Your answers build our Excellence Action Plan.
