In an era dominated by screens, we take an intentional approach to technology. We believe in the power of purposeful play, collaborative projects and hands-on learning to foster creativity and critical thinking. Our students have access to tools that prepare them for the future, but we continue to evaluate how and when those tools are used. This year, iPads will remain at school for our kindergarten and first-grade students, allowing them to spend even more time engaged in hands-on learning both at school and at home. As we evaluate this change, we will consider a similar approach for second grade.

One of the reasons behind the latest insanity is the president’s statement that he is mad at Canada because of the smoke that has drifted south to the United States.
