Technology and Your Student
Students in today's world need opportunities to utilize technology to communicate, collaborate, create, and think critically.
Students in grades PK-12 have access to a wide variety of technology tools. Generally speaking, the following devices are utilized at different grade levels:
- Kindergarten: Touch Screen Chromebooks that will stay at school
- Grades 1-8: One-to-One Non-Touch Chromebooks that will stay at school
- Grades 9-12: One-to-One Chromebooks to take home and bring to school each day
Additionally, most schools have computer labs with desktop computers or mobile labs of laptops, plus limited numbers of iPads to further enhance instruction that integrates technology. Check with your student's building to find out more about the technology provided.
