Campus Tech Support
On our campus, we have a computer lab with 30 eMacs. In the 5th grade wing, we have 10 older iMacs. We have 14 new iMacs for 4th
grade. We have a funded part time technologist position. This yet-to-be-hired person will address both campus hardware issues as well
as curriculum support for teachers.
Future Vision and Direction
We look forward to having technology play a larger role in the instructional day, both as a teacher tool and as a student resource.
