Forsyth County schools offer online learning survey

The Forsyth County School District invites students, parents and staff members to take a survey on how the district did in the fourth quarter of the 2019-20 school year, when online learning replaced classroom teaching due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The survey is open until Monday, June 1. To take it: https://bit.ly/2AGxaAI

Among the questions asked: What the student used for online learning (laptop, tablet, cell phone, and so forth); if the student had a reliable internet connection; and how respondents would rate the online learning plan execution, ease of finding lessons, teacher/staff communications, and other issues.

The survey also asks how comfortable students are returning physically to school in August. Information: https://bit.ly/2zgsVeU
