The Holly Springs Police Department has been awarded a grant associated with the Safe Routes to School Program.  Part of the obligation is to have parent surveys completed.  We ask that each family complete only one survey per school your children attend. After you have completed this survey, send it back to the school with your child or give it to the teacher. Your responses will be kept confidential and neither your name nor your child’s name will be associated with any results. Thank you for participating in this survey!

Please click on the link below to complete the survey:
