The Office of Technology supports the theory, “all students can learn” and it is the district’s goal to make this theory a reality.  Educational Technology provides another medium to expand the opportunities for all students to learn.  A vision to implement learning in a practical and competitive means while utilizing critical thinking strategies makes Educational Technology’s standards, essential.

 The Office of Technology also believes that all of its children deserve an education that will provide them with the opportunity to become active learners and productive citizens throughout their lives.  Our intent is to create a district technology direction that will support learners in developing their maximum intellectual potential, personal and social responsibility, and skills and knowledge in preparation for their working lives.

 Finally, as a community of learners, that champions lifelong learning and learner-focused schools, the district believes that the needs of the individual learner should be assessed and addressed continually.

    Mission Statement

 The Office of Technology's mission is to use Educational Technology to foster a lifelong thirst for learning within each student. Technology will equip our students with the tools they need to be productive citizens in the 21^st century.  The infusion of technology into the learning environment will empower students to go beyond traditional learning boundaries to become independent and interdependent learners, interacting with virtually anyone, anywhere, and at any time.  It is with this attitude and ability that challenges of the future can be met successfully.
