The Elementary
Technology Department has grown in the past couple of years. We
have three labs now: one for K-2 instruction, one for 3-5 instruction,
and a Drop-In lab for the whole Elementary Section. Our two Main
Labs work on a set schedule with teachers signing in for extra time,
and our Drop-in Lab functions only with a sign-up schedule. The
two main instructional labs are each equipped with 25 of the latest
Apple eMac computers. The Drop In Lab has 16 iMac computers. We
are fortunate to have cutting edge computer and multi-media technology
as well as the most current teaching techniques for technology instruction.
