Our mission

"to provide you with the best service"

 

In an effort to stay true to our mission to provide you with the best service, we managed to add another member to our technology staff, to help us provide better support to you in the area of instructional technology.

Teachers in particular, if you need support with the various instructional programs that we use in the district, such as Odyssey, McGraw-Hill, Renaissance Learning, Study Island, Waterford, and others, please input a workorder and send the work request to Technology Instruction. Also, if you need support on the integration of technology components, including hardware and software, send your work request to Technology Instruction as well.

Documentary Film is a broad category of visual expression that is based on the attempt, in one fashion or another, to document reality. Knowledge comes in different ways through our five senses. Hearing, watching, touching, smelling and tasting are the only doorways to the outer world. The wise men say that if something is not truly experienced with all our five senses, the experience will be partial, not total. Therefore in a way almost all our gained knowledge through life is partial. And maybe they are right.
