From the Principal
Parents,
Pflugerville ISD and our campus will once again partner with BrightBytes, an educational research organization, to learn more about our technology use for student learning. In order to better show our growth over the past year and showcase the impact of our initiatives, we will refresh the data we collected in April 2017.
Please complete the questionnaire below.
Our data collection window is set to run from May 21 – 25, 2018.
Parents & Guardians - www.BByt.es/6T6JP
This link is specific to Riojas parents, and each PFISD school will send out their own link. Our Riojas students in grades 3-5 will be taking the survey at school this week as well.
Our goal is to gather metrics on technology access and skills, and on our school’s technology environment, to further understand the connection between technology use and student achievement. The refreshed data will also allow us to prioritize different initiatives based on the changes in our profile.
The district will be asking students in grades 3-5, 6-8 and 9-12, administrators, teachers and parents to participate by providing input by completing this short questionnaire.
I hope to see you school some time soon,
Christi
