Our goal in IMS is to support the educational aims of the District by ensuring reliable and accessible technology for all staff and students. We are dedicated to leading change in order to be more effective educators through inspiration, innovation, and reflection. We see technology as an accelerator of learning in the classroom that provides opportunities for connecting, differentiating and personalizing the learning experience for every student.

Here is a collection that outlines our technology initiatives since the introduction of the Strategic Plan. This will be constantly updated as we progress. Enjoy.
