New Minnesota Dept of Education Website for Parents...
Here's a bit of information that you can share with the parents that you provide care for...
Please share this time sensitive information with parent participants in your programs as soon as possible before November 4th. The Early Learning Services Division at MDE is seeking parent input on a new Website! Thank you for your help!
Dear Minnesota parents of young children:
As a result of one of Governor Pawlenty's 2006 early childhood initiatives and subsequent appropriation by the 2006 Minnesota Legislature, the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) is planning for the development and launch of a new Website for parents of newborns. It is intended that the content of the parent Website will include health, child development, parenting education, consumer and child care information relevant for new parents. It is expected that the first launch of the parent Website will be within a few months.
As part of the planning process, we are eagerly seeking parent input for the Website development through an online survey for parents to respond. The survey is only available at this Website address: http://www.zoomerang.com/survey.zgi?p=WEB225Q97BWQJ7 . MDE will not be able to accept completed paper surveys or surveys submitted after the closing date. Don't delay! The online parent survey will only be available until November 4, 2006. It is expected that the survey will take about 5-7 minutes for parents to complete.
In appreciation of parents' ideas and time, only the first 1,000 survey respondents from Minnesota will receive a $10 Target(R) GiftCard upon completion of the survey. Minnesota parents with children younger than five years of age are eligible to participate in the survey. Employees of the MDE are not eligible to receive the Target GiftCard. Thank you for telling us what you think! Your input is vital to the planning of the new MDE parent Website! Opportunities for providing other types of input to the parent Website may be available in the future.
You may contact Debbykay Peterson at debbykay.peterson@state.mn.us or Avisia Whiteman at avisia.whiteman@state.mn.us if you have questions.
