NYS Digital Equity Survey – We Need Your Input!

We are asking all parents, guardians, and students to take a few minutes to complete the New York State Digital Equity Survey. This brief survey takes less than 5 minutes to complete. The purpose of the survey is to help our district identify students who may need access to reliable internet and/or a digital device for completing schoolwork at home.

Your feedback is critical in ensuring all students have the tools they need to be successful.

The survey will close on June 5, 2026, so please respond at your earliest convenience.

Thank you for your time and support.
