Vision for Technology Technology will be used to meet the needs of all learners. It is our mission to enquire new and exciting ways to engage learners and help them reach their full potential. We strive to use the most up to date technology to create, gauge, and encourage collaboration amongst teachers, students, staff, and community stakeholders.

Technology Goals ● Goal 1: Provide a device for each student. New students will be given a student number with 24 hours of enrolling to ensure device checkout. - We want to ensure each student is able to continue to check out a device and take one home if they need to catch up on assignments. Students must follow the proper checkout procedures. ● Goal 2: Prepare students for a safe online learning platform - We want to ensure students are practicing safe online behaviors and know how to access each learning platform.

Needs Assessment ● Parents, students, and staff completed an eProve survey and provided feedback on ways to improve technology learning. ● Parents requested more Powerschool assistance. Answers varied from password reset to checking grades. ● Students requested more assistance with accessing instruction on third party platforms such as edmentum and edgenuity. ● Teachers requested more access to digital bulk printing throughout the building and classroom hotspots for areas of the building that lose network connectivity.
