As educators, we have a responsibility to prepare our learners for the world they will enter when they leave our school system and enter higher education or the work force.  We believe that a one-to-one digital learning program supports our District’s mission to create an environment that inspires each individual to excel. We have a one-to-one laptop program in grades 5-12 where learners have their own laptop that they use throughout the school day and take home.  We are also one-to-one with iPads in grades K-4.  Goals of the program are to:
 
  •   Individualize Instruction by providing learners and facilitators with the resources and supports necessary to help them learn at their zone of proximal development.

  •   Level The Playing Field by giving ALL learners EQUAL ACCESS to technology resources in support of their education.

  •   Prepare learners with the 21st century skills they need to be successful in today’s post-secondary academic and professional environments.
