Research Study:
Cheryl Hagseth is conducting a research study through her doctoral program at Lewis and Clark College.  The study will explore perceptions of virtual learning students.  The purpose of the study is to examine the educational interests, perceptions, and experiences of secondary online learning students enrolled in a virtual school.  She would like to invite your son or daughter to be included in the study.  Participation is voluntary.  Please see letter about student and permission forms that must be signed by parents of students under 18 to participate in the study.  Students over 18 may sign the form without a parent signature.  Forms are to be turned into our office and Cheryl will send link to a brief survey to be filled out by students.  If you choose to participate, thank you for volunteering.  This information is useful to our school as we work to improve the learning environment for our MEWA students.  Please select this link!
