To fully prepare our students to be successful in the technological demands of work in the 21st century three questions guide our decisions for educational technology: 1) What technology will have the largest impact on the education of our students? 2)  How will we train our teachers and staff to use it effectively to meet the need of the Common Core and 21st-century learning? 3) How can plan we deployments responsibly to ensure sustainability?

Through our districts 1:1 program, adaptive computer programs and personalized learning initiative we are better able to meet the needs of all students and prepare them to actively contribute in their community once they finish their educational career
