 | For today's student an appreciation, understanding, and working knowledge of computers and electronic media are essential. The Technology Department prepares all students to be confident and competent in the use of technology.
The Computer Department has four objectives:
- Ensure that students of all ages are familiar and comfortable with the computer as a tool
- Acquaint students with the uses of the computer in society, including career requirements and opportunities
- Promote ethical use of the computer and the internet
- Provide information and skills required to utilize the computer in all subject disciplines
Students in grades 6 through 12 are required to bring a laptop each day for daily activities. Grades PreK through 5 are equipped with a multi-computer work area in each classroom. Additionally, grades 4 and 5 are equipped with three laptop carts for shared use, to prepare students for the transition into the laptop program beginning in 6th grade.
Our campuses are outfitted with a state-of-the-art wireless network, with focus on security and reliability. To gain access to the wireless network, users require a login ID and password, which eliminates the risk of outside threats and cyber-intruders. The school's Metro Ethernet internet connection allows for ample bandwidth to accomodate streaming media and research in the classroom.
The Technology Department strives to support the students, faculty, and staff as they use technology in their support of the schools mission. In particular, we provide training and support to faculty and encourage them to incorporate technology in their teaching and learning. We provide technical support for all the hardware and software on campus that is used by all employees and students.
