Technology for 21st century learning
King Christian School encourages a learning environment that fosters 21st century learning. Each classroom has several computers for student use.
Google Apps for Education
In 2013, King Christian School began using Google Apps for Education to help facilitate educational activities using technology. Students are provided with a Google account administered by KCS. This account allows students to use the school’s Chromebooks and provides access to free online applications (programs) such as email, word processing and presentation software. Students are able to access their accounts and information at any time from any internet-connected device.
Accelerated Reading Program
Students can access the Accelerated Reader program as well as other programs that are integrated into the curriculum. Students in grades 2-8 are working with the TechnoKids computer curriculum in the Technology Learning Centre (computer lab) on a weekly basis. The TLC is also used as needed to support the curriculum.
Cell phone policy
Students are not allowed cell phones at school or on any class trips. Should phone calls need to be made to parents, we request they be made through a staff member in the school office to ensure administration and staff are aware of all situations. Cell phones brought to school by students will be held in trust and can be picked up by the parent. Special medical situations can be discussed with the administration.
