Curriculum and Programming

We use various tools and resources for a varied student experience. We all know that technology is very important these days, and it's everywhere! However, we still believe in teaching how to read and write cursive, and to work on neatness and legibility. Handwriting is an important fine-motor and life skill!

Secondly, because of today's technology-driven environment, we do provide many experiences in all grades through iPads, student Chromebooks, and classroom technology. As students get into late elementary and Jr. High, they must learn how to be good consumers of the world of information available to them. We teach the use of technology in light of good judgement, responsibility, and learning to be prudent and wise digital citizens.

We do not send any devices home with students. All devices remain in the building, and the work is done on them during school hours.

E-Learning will be utilized as needed or on occasion.  Internet access from home will be needed.
