Vision+Statement

Vision Statement
Technology has become a huge factor in education today. The way we complete everyday tasks has changed tremendously, and will continue to update for years to come. Even simple tasks such as taking attendance and lunch count, are now down through websites, and software programs. No longer are we in need of checking off our paper copy of the class roster with a “P” for present, and “A” for absent.

As we look to the future of our school systems we anticipate advancements in education that will make a change for the better. We look to integrate technology where it was never considered possible before. We move towards products such as SmartBoards and Elmos that will change the classroom we have become comfortable with. We have set new, higher expectations for our students and what the future will bring for them. However, we also need to consider the full impact these changes will make in our school systems. What pitfalls should we anticipate, and what issues do we need to be cautious of? These concerns must also be addressed in order to successfully implement a new idea in education.
