The Wharton School District has invested in providing the latest technology to all of our classrooms enabling teachers to personalize instruction through Google Classroom and programs like NEWSELA, KidBiz, Sumdog, Arcademics, and Brainpop. Classrooms are equipped with document cameras to facilitate instruction and support student learning. In addition, Duffy teachers regularly receive technology, books, audio equipment and supplies for their classrooms through successful Donors Choose applications.
