• The SC State Department of Education (SDE) is asking schools to survey families to determine the availability of reliable Internet access.

    The results of the survey will have a direct impact on our students as the state will use the data to determine where to apply funding to improve access to broadband - both in terms of actual connectivity and financial support for families in need.

    We need all families to participate.  If you have a neighbor without Internet access, please considerer helping them complete the survey.  Likewise, as a last resort, parents may contact the school if they can't complete the form online. 

    This is a great opportunity for parents to establish a Parent Portal account, so you can access your student's grades and attendance!

    Note - the instructions below show how to complete the survey for all of your students at once!!
