Remote Device Availability Survey(Click)

The purpose of this survey is to assess the availability of devices among our Middle and Upper School students for remote learning. The survey findings will help us decide whether to seek federal funding for additional devices to support our students in case of remote learning days or an extended period.

Have a great weekend,
