What is different this year?
**STUDENT CHECKLIST-PLEASE READ**Parents have always been required to sign the student checklist before students can access the technology. This year we will have an opt out policy, which means they will have access unless the parents send in a letter saying their child cannot have access. There will still be a checklist for other things in the school that the parents have to fill out but it will not have technology information on it. Please pay attention to the students who cannot have their work or pictures displayed. You are responsible for keeping up with that information.

SeeSaw
Seesaw empowers students of any age to independently document what they are learning at school.
Students capture learning with photos and videos of their work, or by adding digital creations. Everything gets organized in one place and is accessible to teachers from any device.
Student work can be shared with classmates, parents, or published to a class blog.
Formative
What is a PTP?
The goal of the program is to improve teacher technology skills and integration of technology into the learning environment based on the ISTE Teacher Standards.
Our teachers will improve their teaching practice and hopefully increase student achievement.
The technology coach will meet with each team to develop goals for the individual teacher for the grade level/department. Throughout the year the technology coach will provide resources and assistance to ensure that these goals are completed.
