For students to be effectively prepared to live in a technologically advanced society and to be prepared for the challenges they will face in high school, college, careers, and everyday life, students need to be taught to use technology and apply it to their activities in and outside of the classroom.

To keep students informed of classroom assignments and work missed during possible absences or illnesses, an online calendar will be created, accessible from the school website, and updated on a regular basis by the teachers.

Students will be taught to use the internet for research, blogging, creating and using wikis, and podcasting for educational purposes.

Technology for Improving School Culture To improve school culture and enhance community interaction, breakfast and lunch menus will be featured on the school website, which will be maintained by students assisted by the keyboarding teacher. To improve school culture, The school website will be updated with middle school sports schedules and results, upcoming school events, and photos of events. To improve school culture, the News Team program will broadcast daily news casts that feature school news and events, weather, local sports, and national sports information.
