They are learning how to use Google Drive docs, presentations and spreadsheets. Their grade levels were also given chrome books for them to work on in preparation for the upcoming Parcc tests.
- Kindergarten was added to the computer curriculum. Just like first-fourth grades, they come to the computer lab once a week for formal instruction.
