TECHNOLOGY

Our students live in a digital world, altered by ever-changing technology. This generation of 21st Century learners can absorb a great deal of information at a pace that we as adults often marvel at. For parents choosing virtual learning and in preparation for the possibility of the entire school being forced into distance/virtual learning, we have incorporated technology that will facilitate the necessary interaction between teachers and students. Given the state of education and the possibility that distance/virtual learning could happen at any time, we as a school are obligated to provide the best education possible for our students. 

Current Technology includes:
• Chromebooks (K-8) - Students in grades K-8 will be issued a Chromebook. Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd grade students are not likely to be taking their Chromebooks home nightly. More realistically they will take them home once a week to complete homework and to continue “practicing” the using the technology. Students in grades 3-8 should take their devices home most nights.

• Google Classroom – This will be a portal for each class, (assignments, digital curriculum, digital resources, online gradebook, dates, announcements will all funnel through each teacher’s page.

• School issued email (Example:  ) – this will occasionally be necessary to submit assignments and must be created to enter a student into the Classroom portal.

• Google Meet – If we are forced into distance/virtual learning or for those students opting out of in-person learning, Google Meet class meetings will allow teachers to teach their classes, answer questions, and conduct live/interactive classes. For virtual learning to be effective, teachers and students must be able to interact.
