We still want to hear from YOU! While report cards, achievement scores and awards are meaningful, we believe that feedback about the student experience holds just as much value. We want to continue to cultivate a balanced middle school experience that allows our students to thrive. In order to do that, we need your help. Please take a moment to give us your feedback regarding your child's experience via our parent survey here.

Each student at Pizitz will also have the opportunity to share their thoughts on their experience. Just as we have shared our school's report card, we will share pertinent results with you as well. Thank you for helping us make our school the Best Middle School in America!
