Our Vision:

 

We envision using technology to further a learning community where:

  • Students take more responsibility for their own educational success and are enthusiastically engaged in problem solving, risk-taking, and hands-on learning.

  • Teachers use technology in support of learning in an innovative, creative, and efficient manner. They function as coaches, mentors, advocates, and managers of information. They have the knowledge and skill to use technology to enhance the delivery of a challenging and inter-disciplinary curriculum, which addresses student specific needs, and learning styles.

  • Technology is used effectively to allow more of the school system's financial and human resources to be focused on student education.

  • Schools become an environment where students and teachers have ready access   to   software   tools   and   applications,   knowledgeable   support   staff,
    information, and external resources to further the curriculum goals.

Our Mission:

 

Our mission is to use technology to augment the school system's goals of providing the best education possible, improving student achievement, and preparing all students to capitalize on the opportunities they encounter.

We will achieve this by ensuring that all students are competent and experienced in using technology to:

        access, collect, authenticate, manage, and assess information;

        analyze and investigate alternatives and patterns;

        develop innovative solutions;

        express themselves creatively; and,

        communicate their ideas effectively
