Waterford Public Schools
One-to-One Device Program
The goal of the one-to-one device program in Waterford is to promote the use of technology to enhance the educational program for all students and provide equitable access to technology. Waterford Public Schools is a community of learners that fosters and supports high aspirations, ensuring every student acquires the skills and knowledge necessary to be a responsible citizen, prepared to contribute and succeed in an ever-changing digital world. In Waterford, our vision for graduating students is that they will demonstrate mastery of the following Transferable Skills: Communication, Research and Understanding, Critical Thinking, Responsible Citizenship and Self-Direction. The implementation of a one-to-one device program will ensure that our students will be provided with an innovative and equitable education and be prepared to leave with the knowledge and skills to be successful in today’s digital society.
