Parent Survey (Must Be Completed By Sunday, June 1, 2014)

Blue Jacket Parents: With the district’s new PDL (Personalized Digital Learning) Initiative roll out just around the corner, baseline data is needed about current technology use in our schools. AHS parents are asked to complete a 5 minute survey using this link: www.BByt.es/PA3JP.  These completely anonymous surveys will help our district learn more about Aynor High School needs in order to provide appropriate professional development opportunities for teachers (to help them get the most out of the accessible technology in their classrooms). The survey must be completed no later than Sunday, June 1, 2014. Thank you in advance for your participation and as always for your support of Aynor High School!
