Introducing... Chromebooks in the Classroom! On November 30, 2015, our 7th grade scholars became the first students in the Portland School District to pilot a 1:1 device program. Every student has been a assigned a Chromebook, and all Social Studies classes participated in a collaborative two-day workshop with Ms. Harris and Mr. Toussaint about digital citizenship and appropriate use of the devices. The 1:1 computers will allow our 7th grade geographers to travel the world even more easily with the click of a few buttons!
7th Grade Parents: View our workshop presentation and collaborative Chromebook Bill of Rights and Responsibilities to learn more about this developing program.
