PARENTS

Dear parents and/or guardians of students at Morton,

We are partnering with BrightBytes, an educational research and analytics company, in order to learn more about our students’ school and home technology use for learning.

We are reaching out to ask you to take part in our (school/district/regional) questionnaire. Your participation is essential in helping us form a more complete picture of technology use for learning in our students’ lives. Please know that all of your responses will remain anonymous to protect your privacy and they will help your child's school choose the right technology for their classrooms. It will take approximately 5 minutes to complete.

The last day to complete this questionnaire is Nov. 16, 2018.

Thank you for taking part in this important initiative!

All parents of students K-8th grade are welcome to attend Parent Math Nights. At each Parent Night, attendees will experience what their students are currently learning in math. Parents will see first-hand how students apply math strategies and how to support their learning at home. Parents will also become familiar with math grade level curriculum, vocabulary, and expectations. Sessions will be held once a quarter and will share what students are currently focusing on in class.
