Ossining Parent Survey

(Desea que esta página en español? Haga clic aquí.)

Dear Parent:

The following survey is part of the Ossining School District's effort to assess the progress of instructional technology initiatives in all Ossining schools. There are many different points of view and opinions related to technology resource allocation, use and impact, and this survey is one way of gathering information on those varied opinions and experiences. Students, teachers, and administrators will also be surveyed, and focus groups have been conducted recently as a means of gathering more in-depth information on how technology impacts student learning and teacher work.

Data from this survey will be analyzed in aggregate to create an overall picture of technology use in Ossining schools for the purposes of district technology planning. Individual responses will not be tracked and therefore all of your responses will be anonymous.

Thanks in advance for your time and candid responses,
