Hoboken PARENTS AND GUARDIANS Technology support

This site has been created to support families as they acclimate and continue to maneuver some of the most popular technology applications used in our schools. We are sharing this page to guide parents to resources and learning opportunities. 

Our goal is to provide the best possible learning experience for each student while ensuring their safety. We are cognizant that the partnership between home and school is critical. We are excited to get to see all of our students as we usher in a new school year and we honor and respect our family/school compact. Be assured that your child's teachers and other school staff are ready and available to assist you. Please use the directory pages linked below to identify additional staff who may be able to assist. 

We partner with Common Sense Media to supplement to our lessons and digitally-driven activities.arning, and much more.  Common Sense is the nation's leading nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of all kids and families by providing the trustworthy information, education, and independent voice they need to thrive in the 21st century. Common Sense Education, which debuted in our district in the 2019-2020 school year and via our Digital Citizenship Family Night, is at the heart of digital learning both in the classroom and beyond. 

Finally, The Hoboken Public School District recognizes that digital skills and citizenship are woven into the fabric of educational practices and 21st century society. They are essential for our students as they grow to take their place in the fast-paced, connected world of college and career. 

Conversely, we also recognize the need to achieve a balance between screen-time and hands-on materials. Please know that our adopted technology, adopted programmatic materials, and their digital components are supplements to our instructional practices, not the drivers of our practices. Our instructional staff works diligently to ensure that balance is achieved. They are at the forefront of ensuring that  tablets, chromebooks, and other digital-based tools are used appropriately and when necessary.

We welcome your feedback and suggestions and we are grateful for your partnership.
