Welcome School District Leads!
Thank you for leading the CHEQ project for your district. The information you help collect provides the first insights for your district and community into the group of children entering kindergarten. This data can be used to help guide evidence-based decision-making to improve initiatives for children and families. We want to express our sincerest gratitude for your commitment to supporting CHEQ Leaders in making sure we hear from as many parents/caregivers as we can. This would not be possible without your dedication during an already busy time of year.
