All the Westchester elementary schools are committed to the use of computer technology in our curriculum, as a research tool, and to the development of life-long technology skills. Each school is equipped with a computer lab and computers in each classroom, networked to the computer lab.
Students will be actively engaged in the use of computers in their learning throughout each quarter or trimester in the Westchester schools. Additionally, computer technology will be used in our media centers for both research and selection of reading materials.
The district has an overall technology curriculum outlining the skills deemed appropriate for each grade level throughout our district. Each family will be asked to sign the district's "acceptable use policy" prior to student access to the Internet. Our district utilizes Internet filters for student Internet protection. We are committed to the appropriate use of this technology throughout our curriculum and as a life-long skill for students to develop for their future education and life-long needs.
