					<description><![CDATA["Your voice matters!

We need all parents and guardians to take the School Experience Survey online by going to https://www.lausd.org/TakeTheSES and clicking the “Parent Survey” button near the bottom of the page.

The School Experience Survey helps Porter MS leadership plan and ensure we are meeting student and family needs.

The deadline for parents to complete the survey is Friday, March 22, 2024.

In addition, you may print out or take a screen shot confirming your completion of the survey. All students who submit evidence to Mrs. Prosor that their parent or guardian completed the survey will be entered into a Prize drawing.   

Thank you for your on-going support of our school community!"]]></description>
