We appreciate your taking the time to complete the following survey. It should take about 15 minutes of your time. We are interested in how you use and need technology for your education and learning.

Please help us by completing this survey. Your responses are voluntary and will be kept confidential. Responses will not be identified by individual. All responses will be compiled together and analyzed as a group.

A few important things to know: You can choose to stop the survey at any time. When you see "1:1," it means having a device for each student, as with our Chromebook carts.

Students, when you arrive at question #1, your survey administrator will tell you which school to select. You should answer "School ____."

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Mr. Tucker, Assistant Principal at South Edgecombe Middle School [wtucker@ecps.us].

Thank you.
