Technology At Home



The Classroom Performance Systems, or "clickers," have become popular formative assessment tools in classrooms throughout the district.  CPS allows teachers and students immediate feedback that can help guide instruction and set learning goals.

It is the responsibility of USD #497 to provide students with the opportunity to explore, investigate, analyze, evaluate, design, and create information using adequate and appropriate technology. Students must be equipped with the best skills, attitudes, and tools to function in a competitive economy.

Important Information

All users of the district network are expected to follow the Acceptable Use Policy. Parents are encouraged to read this document so that they'll be aware of, and can reinforce those expectations with their students.

The state requires that all districts provide an updated Technology Plan every three years. Our current plan and the technology bond were developed at the same time. We've come a long way in the last couple of years, and believe you'll see that reflected in these documents.
