• Must be completed at school between the hours of 7AM and 5PM
What needs to be done before we do the survey?
• Identify a point of contact (POC) that will facilitate the survey
• Create a schedule for students to complete the survey during the selected window
• Test the students IC Portal accounts/log in • There will be a report in IC that can be printed with the students’ log in and password
• Double check teacher rosters • POC will run the “Educators with Count” report to double check
• Send home parent opt out letter and monitor any that are returned so they do not take survey
Parent Opt Out Letter
Administering the Survey• Compatible devices
• Computers, IPads/tablets, Smartphones• Must use the student portal IC website, link on the FCPS website
homepage• Cannot use the IC “app”
•Actual survey is 25 questions•Schedule 30 minutes for the survey to be completed by student to allow time to log in
Issues that need to be considered• Students will see a survey in their “IC inbox” for every
teacher for which they are listed on a roster
• including non-instructional activities such as extra curricular teams, teacher aide, etc.
• Important that students are informed on which survey(s) to actually complete• For example: 2nd period teachers for both A and B days so they only
complete two surveys
•Scheduling lab time, portable labs, etc.•Plan ahead•Schedule early in the “window” to allow make up days if internet issues arise
