The Ellenville Central School District is asking families to complete our annual Digital Equity Survey to help us better understand students' access to technology and the Internet at home.
Your feedback will help the District identify student needs and guide decisions about resources and future funding opportunities.
Families are asked to complete a survey for each child in Grades Pre-K through 12, as technology access may vary among children in the same household.
To learn more and access the survey, please visit https://www.ecs.k12.ny.us/article/3243742.
Thank you for helping us ensure that all Ellenville students have the tools they need to succeed!
