Freshman Transition Survery
(It is case sensitive) You can send it to them or simply write it on the board and have them type it in.
It will bring them to a multiple choice survey, titled, "Freshman Transition Survey" just have them fill it out and click submit.
If you are not in a lab, again, give them the address and if you don't mind, have them do it on their mobile device (ipad, tablet, smart phone, etc) I can see the names of the kids who submitted, so if you need that, just let me know. I would love it if they could get these done by the end of the school day on Wednesday.
This link is for the teacher version of the survey
Again, this is only regarding your freshman. So for #1, it is what percent of your freshman are failing out of all your freshman (I teach 60 freshman and 10 of them got D's or F's, so that is like 15%)

It all began on February 17, 1993, when Kent Taylor opened the first Texas
Roadhouse in Clarksville, Indiana. Kent’s goal was to own not
just a family restaurant and not just a steak
restaurant, but a place where everyone, of all ages, could come and
have a great meal and great fun for a great price.
We like to brag about our Hand-Cut
Steaks, Fall-Off-The-Bone Ribs, Made-From-Scratch Sides, and
Fresh-Baked Bread. Everything we do goes into making our hearty meals stand
out. We handcraft almost everything we serve. We provide larger portions so you
get more food for your dollar. And if you want an Ice Cold Beer or Legendary
Margarita to wash it all down — well, we have those, too.
Our
food’s not the only thing that’s Legendary at the Roadhouse — our fun is too!
From our line dancers to our jukebox to our friendly servers, you’ll enjoy
every second you spend in a Texas Roadhouse.
At Texas Roadhouse our
team has an incredible sense of pride in everything we do. Our
passion ensures you have a Legendary Experience every time. Because of
our passion for our guests and our communities, our team members are involved
outside the restaurants in their local communities as a way to give back.
The Texas Roadhouse story is simple. Legendary Food, Legendary Service® —
all with lots of
Legendary Fun!
