Q: Why all the GEAR UP information now?
A: Part of the GEAR UP requirements are completed surveys. We need you to complete a survey for every child you have that is currently attending Box Elder 7-12th grade.
If you would prefer to do the same survey on paper instead of digitally, copies will be sent home with students or can be picked up in the front office.
Please help us by completing the survey. Please copy and paste the link below in a browser to complete the survey.
