-	Mrs. Patola is the best ever
-      Conference was great. NA Celebration night was amazing -      Not involved with CUSD Native American Program

opportunities if not better than I had. -	Is there help available at the 7th grade?

13.

Please list anyother recommendations you have to improve the Native American Education Program:
	-      Better communication between program and parents. -      -Keep Mrs. Patola as the Clovis North advisor -      More trips
-	If it’s possible for the tutor to communicate with the parents at least once a month to inform about our children
-      Is it possible to have 1 o 1 meeting with IA assigned to my student? -      Next year possible start date for the meetings in beginning of
September
-	More events for students and parents
-	Adding 1more day for tutoring help in classrooms
-		In the 5+ years my children (oldest & middle) have been in the program, they have onlybeen approached once. The youngest has never been approached. It shouldn’t matter what their grades are.
The IA should always introduce him or herself andlet them (the students) know they are available for help. Just because my child gets good grades doesn’t mean he doesn’t struggle on certain sections.
-	More tutoring programs
-	More time with students if more than single student

14.

-	 It would be nice to see a log or appointments for when student is seen and what was helpedwith so we can follow up with the same
