1:1 Chromebook Initiative
Every student in grades 2 through 12 receives a take-home Chromebook. Primary grades have classroom sets of ipads.
Connected Classrooms
Technology reduces barriers to learning and streamlines content–assignments, projects and sources–all in one location. These digital resources are accessible to students from anywhere through Google Drive and Converge.
Innovative Learning Platforms
Advanced learning platforms empower teachers to curate targeted, differentiated content that meets students’ individual needs. Grade level teams curate resources through Khan Academy, MobyMax, Quizlet, Newsela, Reading Counts, MasteryConnect and more. These platforms provide daily opportunities to re-teach or accelerate content when needed.
Enhanced Communications
Parents and students are encouraged to stay up-to-date on attendance, classroom performance and school happenings through Infinite Campus and REMIND 101.
