Technology Survey - A Message from the Director of Education

Posted On Friday March 27, 2020

Dear Parents and Guardians, 

I hope you and your families are safe and well during this unprecedented time as we continue to follow precautions informed by the province to prevent the spread of COVID-19.  In spite of the necessary restrictions being followed in our community and world-wide, it is my wish that you were able to spend time together over the March Break and are maintaining the deep sense of hope that we foster here at Durham Catholic District School Board (DCDSB). 

In anticipation of an extension of the closures I wanted to let you know that we are in the process of preparing for the next phase of distance learning.

With this in mind, we have developed a parent survey to help DCDSB understand how many of our students are in need of technology devices and/or the Internet for learning at home.

Please fill in a survey for each child who does not have access to a device and/or the Internet. 

If your child has access to a device such as desktop, laptop, or Chromebook, iPhone/tablet, smart phone (plus Internet), you do not need to complete this survey. 

The survey is now closed - thank you for your responses.

If you are receiving this message and are unable to access the survey, please call your child's teacher or school and leave a voicemail and a staff member will reach out to you.

Yours in Faith, 

 

Tracy Barill
Director of Education
