The teacher/administrator survey link is provided here: www.BByt.es/VL9DT  Each teacher and administrator needs to complete this survey. Please reflect on practices you use or may have used this year and celebrate the great work you do each day while taking this survey.

Please encourage students to read the survey closely and to take their time, this survey will help them with the technology we provide in our classes.
