Hello Colleagues, I hope that you and all those important to you, including your students and their families, are well. If you took part in the second *Access and Engagement *study in November, thank you! We are analyzing your data along with data from 726 others so that we can understand how COVID-19 continues to impact education of students with visual impairments. If you haven’t had a chance to review the report we put out about the initial impact of COVID-19 in spring, please take some time to view the report <https://www.afb.org/research-and-initiatives/education/access-engagement-study> and share it widely. This blog post <https://www.afb.org/blog/entry/it-takes-village-access-engagement> has ideas for you on how to share and use the report. As we prepare the second report, we want to be sure the photos we use show how education is occurring this school year for children with visual impairments. We’d love to have your photos! Please read and share the blog post <https://www.afb.org/blog/entry/share-your-photos-education-2021> that contains the photo release form at the bottom (English and Spanish) that must be submitted with any photo. Share with colleagues and families. Your photo may be rewarded with a $25 Amazon gift card! Thank you for all each of you do to ensure children with visual impairments receive a high quality education. Penny *L.
