WCSD Elementary Schools

One mission of education is to prepare students for future careers that include the use of technology. In an age of rapid technological change, teaching our students information and technology literacy skills is essential. At the elementary level, teachers use educational iPad and Chromebook apps to enhance classroom curriculum and to allow students to develop Future Ready skills such as problem solving, creative thinking, and the ability to collaborate. Lessons on care and use of devices and on digital citizenship are taught in library classes and infused in classroom curriculum.

We believe that robust and reliable access to digital learning devices for all students empowers them to engage in their learning through inquiry, collaboration, access to online resources reflecting multiple viewpoints, and the creation and appropriate sharing of their own ideas and products. Robust, equitable, and reliable access is a cornerstone of preparing students for their future in college and/or in a career.

The Waunakee Community School District digital learning initiative builds on increasing levels of access and responsibility from elementary school through high school. Visit the WCSD Digital Learning Plan website for details on the district's vision.
