2022 Spring SEMESTER REGISTRATION
Hello Fernbank families!
We have exciting news! The Federal Communication Commission (FCC) Emergency Connectivity Fund has provided funds for internet services and devices for students!
Each Fernbank family is being asked to complete the DCSD Student Access Survey. Survey responses will be used to determine the connectivity needs for our school district and to purchase devices. A link to the survey can be found below. If you have questions or need assistance completing the survey, call the school at 678-874-9334. THE SURVEY CLOSES THIS FRIDAY, JANUARY 21ST, SO PLEASE ACT NOW!
Let’s get new devices for all of our children! We would like to get 100% participation on this survey!
