Georgia Health Survey • This survey is MANDATORY. • You will be issued a laptop. • Please log on and then find a logo on the desktop that is white with the blue “e.” That is a shortcut to the survey. • Take the survey. • When finished, LOG OFF the laptop, but do NOT shut down. Do not just close it without logging off. • Bring your laptop to ME. It has to go in a particular place, not just in any slot. • I will ask you to sign off that you completed the survey. • http://admin.doe.k12.ga.us/gadoe/sla/gshs.nsf/SurveyHS.xsp
