Technology & Learning Questionnaire for Parents
Coppell ISD is continuing its partnership with BrightBytes, an educational research organization, in order to learn more about our students’ school and home technology use for learning. We are reaching out to ask you to take part in the Technology & Learning questionnaire. Your participation is essential in helping us form a more complete picture of technology use for learning in our students’ lives. Please know that all of your responses will remain anonymous to protect your privacy. This is a national survey that allows us to compare data sets at the regional, state and national levels. Surveys will be conducted each year in the fall and spring.
Please follow this link to our specific campus questionnaire: www.BByt.es/6A4JP
(Note: if you also have children at other campuses, that means you will need to complete multiple surveys. You will receive an email from those principals with their campus specific questionnaire link.) The survey will take you approximately 5 to 7 min to complete.
Thank you for your time,
Steffany Batik
Texting and Driving presentation and Shattered Dreams
This week, our campus and Coppell High are participating in two programs that help learners make safe choices. The Shattered Dreams program in particular is meant to be an experiential program to help learners understand the consequences of impaired driving. If you have any concerns about the emotional implications of this type of program for your child, please contact our counselor, Michael Kennington.
Thank you,
Steffany Batik
