21st Century Learning

The 21st Century Learning Coordinator works with the Educational Services department to support instructional initiatives and to provide professional development and implementation support to district staff.

As our children become more and more connected, parents sometimes worry about online safety. Having conversations about digital citizenship - appropriate online behavior - with your child are vital to ensuring internet safety.

Please see the resources below:
