Computer Lab
There are two computer labs that are open during the school day.
The computer lab is an open lab to which teachers may bring their students to work on a project. The goal of the computer lab is to infuse technology into the subject matter classes. Teachers may regularly bring classes to create a wide variety of projects that are integrated into their curriculum. During 1st-3rd period on MTW, students are welcome to work in their teacher.
Each computer lab is equipped with a computer with networking capability and a printer. The workstation is able to run multimedia software, to serve as a demonstration machine when hooked to a video projector or large monitor, and is linked to the network within our building and also to the internet. Each staff member also has an email account.
Computer classes are held in lab on MWF from 12:05 pm -2:30pm for 6th, 7th, and 8th
grade students. Students will be exposed to the software programs we have available as
well as fulfill the requirements of the Technology Curriculum and the Core
Curriculum Content Standards.
The remaining days are available for teachers to sign up to work on other
projects in the lab .
