Technology

Grade 4k-1 students use 1:1 classrooms sets of Apple iPads.

Grade 2-4 students use 1:1 classroom sets of Chromebooks.

Grade 5-12 students are assigned a 1:1 Chromebook as their personal learning device to be used both at school and at home.

Chromebooks

The Chromebook offers several important advantages which makes them an attractive option for schools. Chromebooks lend themselves to creating content and collaboration with built in keyboards, touchpads, and variety of external peripherals that can be used to collaborate and share. Chromebooks are devices specifically designed to access the educational content and collaborative resources provided by the Google Workspace for Education system. They provide a lower cost, easy to manage and secure solution to provide anytime, anywhere access to students.

Apple iPads

For early elementary age 4k-1 learners, the iPad provides a touch-enabled interface that allows non-readers to create, share, explore and collaborate. These dedicated classroom devices foster an ever evolving advancement toward transforming learning with technology through daily access to devices. 

Internet Content Filtering

Federal regulations required all K-12 schools to filter Internet access for minors and block inappropriate content. The School District of Arcadia enables Internet content filtering all school issued devices when in use both at school and when connected to the Internet outside of school. No filtering software will block 100% of questionable content. It is ultimately the parent/guardian responsibility to monitor student Internet use at home.
