Digital Equity Family Questionnaire
The New York State Education Department is requiring all school districts, including the New York City Department of Education, to collect information from families about students’ access to devices and the internet for the 2022-23 school year. To make this as easy as possible for families, the DOE has added a Digital Equity Family Questionnaire to the NYC Schools Account Parent Portal where you can provide answers to the questions for each of your students in grades kindergarten to 12.

The Questionnaire has nine questions and is easy to fill out in your NYC Schools Account. Your answers will be used to:

help identify school and district needs,

target resources and funding opportunities, and

to inform state policy and legislative initiatives.

Please read the following letter for further information (for translated versions please click here).

Julia de Burgos was born in 1914 in Carolina, Puerto Rico. A successful published poet in her native Puerto Rico, de Burgos struggled to get the recognition she deserved after moving to the U.S. in the 1930s. Her poems spoke of the beauty of her native country, and celebrated her identity as an immigrant black Latina — all things that were outside of the mainstream in early 20th-century poetry circles. Way ahead of their time, de Burgos’ scintillating poems center on themes of feminism and social justice, setting the stage for many Latino writers to come.
