The Opt-Form sent in the mail includes these web links, but they are long and difficult to type. Use these handy-dandy links to review the survey. You can see what questions your student will be asked if they choose to participate in the survey. You may choose to opt-out your student out of the survey by signing the opt-out form and returning it to your school office. Please contact your school office if you have any questions.
