Hello BFA/NWTC students and parents,

In our on-going efforts to make improvements in the learning experience we are providing, we have developed a survey to learn about how Remote Learning is going for students and parents. The brief survey can be taken by clicking on the links below.  This survey will be collecting data until Friday, May 8th at 4:00 p.m. This feedback will help us identify the things that are going well and the things to improve on so we can adjust accordingly.

Thank you for taking the time to provide us valuable feedback.
