Every  student in school attends computer lab once per week to receive instruction in computer skills and integrated technology. Our lab is equipped with thirty HP up-to-date XP computers with
flat screen monitors.  Lessons are monitored and tracked online with assessments designed to evaluate each module of curriculum.

The State of Texas mandated curriculum for elementary school computer class is Easy Tech, a web-based software designed by Learning.com.  Beginning at the Kindergarten level, students learn keyboarding skills and progress through a sequential curriculum to learn word processing, spreadsheets,  research skills, paint and draw programs, scanning, email basics, and web building.  The program is offered in English and Spanish.  EasyTech is a Web-delivered K-8 technology literacy curriculum. It integrates technology skills into  math, science, language arts and social studies instruction.

Throughout the school year, various types of web-based software programs will be introduced into the curriculum to supplement the foundation courses for each grade level.  Our recent addition of EducationCity.com is a great success!
