1:1 Home to School Connection Initiative

The Superintendent's Technology Advisory Committee recognizes that the world around our students is ever-changing and understand the increasing importance of preparing our students to succeed in a technologically advancing society.

Our goal is to provide our students with a digitally incorporated learning environment that extends beyond the traditional walls of a classroom and to: 

• Provide students with opportunities to access digital resources at any time.
• Allow students to communicate with peers, teachers, and appropriate resources beyond the classroom in support of learning.
• Encourage and empower students to share, collaborate, create, to think and solve problems, and become self-directed.
• Promote proficient and safe use of information, media, and technology.
• Provide access to the most recent and relevant information.

The benefits of the 1:1 Home to School Connection Initiative are substantial for both students and teachers. Benefits of this initiative include:

• Students gain interest and motivation to participate and build a sense of responsibility, organization, and ownership in their learning.
• Students learn concepts to interact collaboratively with their fellow students.
• Schools are a part of a paperless environment that saves on copious quantities of paper.
• Students can easily access digital documents and resources.
• Teacher organize documents and assignments to one location.
• Both students and teachers acquire considerable access to the most recent and relevant information.
• Students interact in an environment that differentiates in a way that cannot be done with a book, a pencil, and paper.
• Students are exposed to a wide range of technological skills that will be needed in their educational career and their future successes.
