Tech for Students

 

Types of devices and platforms your school uses: All students are assigned the same device- Chromebook by Lenovo- a versatile, simple and easy to use, cost effective and where each student with access their classroom resources around the clock.

Login info or parent guides for key apps (e.g., Classlink, Schoology, etc.):  

Each student receives a unique email/username and password to log in to their school device. Once signed in, they have access to a personalized dashboard of apps tailored to their grade level. For example, a first grader will see a different set of learning tools than a seventh grader. In addition, all students are provided free access to powerful productivity tools — including Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, and Excel — as well as Google apps such as Docs, Sheets, and Slides. These resources help students create, organize, and share their learning in meaningful ways.
