Guiding Principles for Technology

As a community of teachers, parents, and administrators:

1. We aspire to be a technology thought-leader using technology in innovative ways.

2. We believe that the learning objectives should be the primary goal of teachers and that technology should be used as a means of enhancing student learning.

3. We will prepare our students with technology skills for the modern world. We will use the PVSD K-8 Technology Scope and Sequence as a guide for learning specific technology skills. 

4. We believe in the balanced use of technology and are cognizant of age-appropriate amounts of "screen time" during the instructional day. 

5. Safety and privacy will be taught through the district’s Digital Citizenship Curriculum.
