"Providing useful and appropriate tools for the benefit of our students."

La Center Schools has a telecommunications network that provides, data, video, and telephone access to every classroom. With this system, we encourage you to contact the school at any time either through email or by phone 24 hours a day. All our staff have both voice mail and email addresses that are checked regularly. Please don't hesitate to contact any school staff member if you have questions, concerns or suggestions. The computer network provides access to printers, the Internet, file servers and email using copper wire, fiber optic cabling, and wireless connections. The standard minimum configuration for equipment in the classroom has been identified in the technology plan and includes a television and VCR, telephone, computer, network access, and a printer. Most rooms exceed these minimum standards and may also have such items as scanners, projectors, digital cameras, laptops, document cameras, Smartboards, microscope adapters, digital video recorders, and PDAs. As part of the district technology plan and the district Student Learning Improvement Plan's efforts to improve communication, wireless access for parents and other community members will soon be available. We look forward to providing this service to make accessing information which students, families and staff can use to help improve student success.
