How Can I Help My Child?
The answer is simple - actively participate in your child's education. Studies show that when parents actively participate in the learning process, children achieve more. Our purpose in developing this website is to work with you to help you guide your child's education. This collection of web resources will help you learn more about how you can help your child succeed in school.

Our first link - The Digital Ride - is an exciting collection of resources that your entire family can enjoy. It includes resources to help with homework, and links to activities, games, the weather and other activities of interest to students of all ages. This site was made possible through the efforts of Lawson Software.

The Department of Educational Technology also maintains district subscriptions to a variety of on line learning resources - encyclopedias and databases. Some of these resources are available for use at home, while others are available only within the district.
