Technology
 The School District strives to provide high quality, appropriate
technical resources, tools, and support to its students and
staff. The goal is to create and equip a collaborative learning
community that can work on many levels, from help with the
basics to sophisticated academic programs. The District also
has to properly assess its students and comply with statewide
testing requirements. Therefore, each school has at least one
computer lab, and effort is made to equip every classroom in
accordance with the teacher's needs.
The Technology Department supplies and maintains the hardware,
networks, databases, telecommunication systems, and testing
resources that enable the schools to function as progressive
learning environments. The Technology Department is
responsible for regulating access and maintaining account and
data security. Its director coordinates testing procedures and
also conducts on-line staff surveys for evaluations and other
important issues.
 Software
applications are carefully chosen to benefit the learning
community. New web-based educational networks help to assess
student needs and improve math and reading skills.
Interactive learning devices enliven the classroom. School
libraries have a management system to keep track of their
resources and share them with others.
The District also wants to reach out to the community through
its web site and now welcomes parents and authorized family
members to view student attendance records,
schedules, discipline issues, grades, assignments and progress
reports through Skyward access.
The District's technology program will continue to be thoughtful
and innovative to best serve the learning community.
