School Experience Survey - Tell Us How VAPA is Doing!

If you have not already done so, please take a few moments to fill out the LAUSD School Experience Survey to let us know how we at VAPA are doing. This survey is very important to us and to the district, the results of which will help us in writing our school's School Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA). The SPSA is the document that our school bases our budget on.
