= = As classroom teachers, we are committed to offering our students the most up-to-date technology available. We are striving to achieve standards set forth by the Texas Long Range Plan for Technology. Each of our students will be given opportunities to be successful in acquiring the knowledge necessary to be fully computer literate by the 8th Grade. The Texas STaR Chart data for our campus has shown that we have a weakness in the area of teacher training and using technology in the classroom. While we have been improving in these areas over the past year, we are dedicated to pursuing better access to professional development and sharing new ways to incorporate that learning into our classrooms.
