The district is a recognized leader in the use of technology as an instructional tool and served as the regional site for technology inservice sponsored by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Parents in the district are able to access their child’s grades and communicate with teachers over the Internet using Edline, a service that allows parents to monitor their child’s progress from home.
