Know a student that needs a computer at home to do school work? HUSD #3 has the opportunity to apply for another round of funding to ensure every child has a computer at home for educational use. Please complete the linked survey to help HUSD #3 identify which students continue to need a computer at home for educational use. NOTE: if you have signed up for a school issued device already this year there is no need to complete the survey. This is for any families that have school-aged children that do not have a computer at home for school work. It is our goal to have both a computer at home and at school for every school-aged child that attends HUSD #3! Thank you for Helping our Unique Students Develop!
