JFK PTO Summer Update
– August 2, 2019
JFK Chromebook Survey (Parents please complete!)
A message from Principal Wilson: Please complete a short survey
regarding your experience with the JFK Chromebook program. Students just
finished a year of having individually assigned Chromebooks. As caregivers, we
value your feedback. The JFK Caregiver Chromebook Program Survey can be found on the
district website at http://www.northamptonschools.org. If you would prefer
to complete a paper version of the survey, please call the JFK office at
587-1489 to receive a copy. Thank you.
El año pasado, JFK tuvo el primer programa de libros de Chromebook
en el distrito, donde los estudiantes de sexto grado tuvieron consigo el
Chromebook asignado durante el día, pero éste se quedaba en el edificio por la
noche. Los grados 7 y 8 pudieron llevarse el Chromebook asignado a la escuela y
al hogar para apoyar su trabajo en la clase. Estamos preguntando como cuidadores
si usted pudiera compartir con nosotros algunos comentarios sobre qué tal fue
el programa en su primer año. http://www.northamptonschools.org.
