Be a part of the conversation happening across the state! Starting today, we will be participating in the Virginia Speak Up Research Project. The national Speak Up is the first survey designed to help families share their ideas about the use of technology in schools directly with schools and national policymakers. Speak Up provides parents and guardians with a mechanism for expressing their views to the administrators at their child(ren)’s school and division about key issues impacting their child(ren)'s education.
Since 2003, Speak Up has collected and shared the views of more than 6.3 million students, teachers, and parents/guardians from across the country. By participating in the Virginia Speak Up, you are expressing your views to a wider audience of local, state, and national policy makers —and contributing to the national dialogue about how best to prepare students for the future.
The online survey is open to students, educators, and parents/guardians; it’s quick and easy to get involved. All participation is 100% confidential. Surveys take about 15 minutes to complete.
To take the survey, visit: https://Speakup.Tomorrow.org/D/JD7M/155
