MSD students, parents & educators, don’t miss out on the opportunity to share your views on technology in K-12 education! Since 2003, Speak Up has collected and shared the views of more than 5.4 million students, teachers, and parents/guardians from across the country. By participating in Speak Up, you are expressing your views to a wider audience of local, state, and national policy makers —and contributing to the national dialogue about how best to prepare students for the future.
Your input is crucial in shaping the future of technology in education at our school. Thank you for helping us make a difference!
