How can you help today?

Right now there are two calls-to-action for our school district:

  • Encouraging the school board to keep moving with the headcount survey and data collection.

  • Encouraging a “yes” vote on the Action Item for replacement of Trombly’s windows. 

Take 60 seconds out of your day to send a premade letter.

District Survey Coming to All Households!

We’re pleased to share that the GPPSS district headcount survey will be sent to all households in the Trombly catchment area. This is a key step toward making informed decisions about our schools, and we need your help! This is in no small part to all of the letters the Trombly United community sent to the school board. Thank you!

Here’s how you can get involved:

  • Share this dedicated page with your friends to make sure everyone is in the loop about the survey.

  • We’re looking for block captains! If you’re interested in helping distribute information or coordinate efforts in your neighborhood, please reach out.

  • The survey should arrive in March—we will update you with a firm date as soon as we have it.

In terms of the survey itself, it will likely be a single postcard, and we have requested there be a support number provided in case you encounter any issues. We’re working closely with the school district to ensure all questions and concerns are addressed promptly.

Thank you for your continued support as we work to make this initiative a success! Stay tuned for more updates.
