As part of our school's continuing commitment to integrating technology into the curriculum, we have added Google Chromebooks to the 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th grade classes. Students use the Chromebooks as part of their regular instruction in Middle School to facilitate and enrich learning. Students take the Chromebooks home so they can continue to participate in learning activities outside of school hours.
Our teachers have attended training and worked on developing technology-rich lessons to be delivered in a one-to-one environment. Chromebooks, insurance, apps, textbooks, and accessories are purchased through CTTCS and are some of the items included in the additional fee to the tuition for 5th through 8th grades. Upon graduation, the students own and keep the Chromebooks.
Students entering 5th & 6th grade (and any new students transferring to CTTCS for 7th or 8th grade) will be provided an orientation to the use of the Chromebooks for classes. Students in K-4th utilize Chromebooks most days in their classroom. Each student is assigned a Chromebook to use in school, and is responsible for taking good care of it.
