SMS 1:1 Computing

With a longstanding, continuous commitment to provide our students with the best possible education, the Scarsdale School District seeks to achieve and maintain the best practices in using technology to enhance the educational experiences of all students. We believe that all members of the school community should be able to:

  • Use appropriate technology as one of the tools for teaching and learning.
  • Have access to appropriate technology throughout the District, including classrooms, labs, libraries, and offices.
  • Use technology as a tool for creative expression, presentation and publication, research, analysis and problem-solving.
  • Use technology to enhance communication, collaboration and project management.
  • Understand and respect the District Acceptable Use Policy and understand the ethical issues related to using technology.
