Greetings Parents,
We value your input! We are partnering with BrightBytes, an educational research organization, in order to learn more about our scholars’ school and home technology use for learning. We are reaching out to you to take part in the Technology and Learning survey. The survey has a total of 9 questions and should take about 5 minutes to complete. Your participation is essential in helping us form a more complete picture of technology use for learning in your scholars’ lives. Please know that all of your responses will remain anonymous to protect your privacy. The parent survey is open now and the last day to complete the questionnaire is midnight on January 15th.
Please select the link below to begin your survey. https://bbyt.es/R78DC
Thank you for taking part in this important initiative.
Sincerely,
Pamela Thomas
Principal
All families will have the opportunity to change between in-person and virtual learning at the end of each nine-week grading period.

Scholar Self-Reporting Form
Parents,
Please partner with us to ensure scholars are logging in at the appropriate time and completing all assignments in their high school and college courses. Teachers have communicated their distance learning expectations for scholars. Scholars will have at least two assignments per week in each class. Please support us in checking your scholar's grades in Skyward Family Access and eCampus ensuring they are completing their assignments by the established deadlines.
