Parent/Community Technology Survey

Back to Technology Home | Back to Minutes Page

Each year the school sends home a survey to gather input from the community as to the technology being used in the home and what parents would like to see in our school’s technology program. This information will help the school design a plan that supports our student’s use of technology and equip them to meet the educational challenges of the present and future.
