ASHLAND HIGH SCHOOL HOMEWORK SURVEY Your Advisory will be given time during TCB to conduct this important survey. If you would like to access the survey from home you may do so at any time. Then, you would NOT need to do it during TCB. To access the survey, go to this link: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/ZF8Y6YN The survey is also posted on Principal Zundel’s Facebook page. Parents received an email with a separate survey to complete.
