Our staff is really excited about the new technological resources that have been made available to us thus far, and we eagerly anticipate more to come!

It has been great to see the new projector, screen, and speaker arrangements installed in all our standard classrooms. Soon to accompany those will be document cameras and additional resources in our library, music rooms, cafeteria, and other learning spaces throughout the building.

While these items alone sound relatively modest in scope, the foundation they lay and the capacity they build for greater integration of student technology with learning is remarkable.

Our staff is making the transition to using campus funds for student technology more than standard paper and printing expenses. Examples of this include moving to web-based and video campus announcements instead of reading them from paper via a public address system, sending news to parents and community electronically instead of mailing paper notifications, and an interesting pilot program in which we will convey progress reports and grade reports to parents electronically (initially with an option for parents who prefer paper reports to still receive them).

We are just in the beginning stage of the transition, but we are grateful for the ability to move in this direction!
