and our american indian and pacific islander families use computer and mobile phone about half, half. we also asked households how many -- if their children had access to a computer with internet. about 84 percent of them do. this looks a lot like the range of households with the minorities a little lower than the district average. 60 percent of children report having access to mobile device with internet, and our white families have the lowest number of children who report having access to one of these devices. as you can see the latino, pacific islander and african american families have 60 percent saying their children have access to those. the percentage of children with mobile device access is actually inversed so families with possibly a high school level of education, less than high school or some college, this is where they're using -- the children have the most access to mobile devices with internet, as opposed to the over four year college, which is only about 50 percent. we also asked parents about how they would prefer for us to communicate with them so urgent communicatio
