PFL Cadre

We hope that you all have had a wonderful school year so far.  We are the Parker Personal Financial Literacy (PFL) Cadre.  We are currently working with Great West Financial to implement and enhance PFL across the district.  We are sending this message to you because students from your school have participated in a personal financial literacy survey that we sent to you last fall.  We are now sending this out again as a post survey follow up.  We would like to ask teachers and students to complete the post survey so we can gain more information about the need for PFL in our schools. We have a post survey window from April 6, 2015 - April 17th.  Please click on the link to access the surveys for teachers and students.  

Helpful Links on the Right
* Look to the top left corner under pages for links to 1) the custodial request form and 2) the GRE curriculum site.
