👋 That's a wrap to our 24-25 School Year! NDLE wishes you all a safe and happy Summer 😎
Dear Parents/Guardians,
Our school is beginning an exciting journey with Leader in Me, a whole-school approach that helps students build leadership and life skills while creating a culture where every child is seen as a leader.
As part of this process, we’re asking for your help by completing a short, anonymous survey. Your feedback will help us understand our school’s strengths and areas for growth.
Parent Survey Details:
Takes about 12 minutes
One response per household is encouraged
If you have more than one child, please answer based on the oldest child’s experience

Please complete by: June 1, 2025
Thank you for helping us grow!
