Dear Freeport Families
The Freeport School District and New York State recognize that students' home
access to the internet has become fundamental for schools across the nation as
they plan strategies for continuous learning. In order to better serve our
families, students and educators, it is extremely important to have an accurate
understanding of students' access to the internet as well as the type of
devices they use for homework and school related instruction. To gather this
information, New York State is requesting that all parents/guardians complete
the quick survey for children (grades K-12) on or before January 27, 2023.
The survey consists of nine questions regarding the types of devices, internet
access and whether the device was school or personally provided.
We are requesting your cooperation in completing the New York State required Digital Equity
Survey by scanning the QR code below or by typing the internet address located
within this letter in your device's internet browser. The link to this survey can also be found on our District website and below.
If there are multiple K - 12 children in your home, and your responses are the same for each child, you will need to fill out one form online and submit all their names. If your responses change for your
children, you will need to submit a separate form for each child. We are required by the state to collect this information for each student, as each student's technology access may be different, even within the same household.
Important: You will need your child's Student ID Number in order to fill out the Digital Equity Survey. You will be receiving a letter from your child's school with their ID number.
Additionally, you can find the ID number in the Parent Portal. The student ID is also the
number in your child's Google email account log-in.
Please see the attached letter for the Digital Equity Survey QR Code and link or you can access the survey through this link:https://forms.gle/9QoLqR3jwV8Zz8mJ8
