•  NYC DOE is required to collect information from families about students’ access to devices & the internet for the 2021-22 school year. To make this as easy as possible for families, the DOE has added a Digital Equity Family Questionnaire to the NYC Schools Account Parent Portal (NYCSA) where you can provide answers to the questions. The Questionnaire has 9 questions & is easy to fill out in your NYC Schools Account. Answers will be used to help identify school & district needs, target resources and funding opportunities, and to inform state policy & legislative initiatives.  Please fill out the questionnaire by December 1st. More information can be read here digital-equity-family-questionnaire ,  digital-equity-family-letter
