The Technology Department supports a variety of classroom technologies, computer labs, iPads and educational software systems.
Hardware: The district has computer labs for student use, as well as a district-wide 1:1 iPad program. All classrooms are also outfitted with projectors, interactive software, and audio enhancement systems.

These online services provide students with instruction, and assesses their understanding of the materials presented. The software also tracks each student's progress through their courses. Reports are made available to the faculty showing student progress.

Our Student Information System (SIS) provides an electronic gradebook that teachers use in their classroom. Parents and students have access to their assignments, attendance and grades online. The SIS also manages state reporting requirements, student test score data, as well as other data.
We also utilize an interactive messaging system which can send voice and text messages as well as interactive components to parents and guardians.
