South Park Students Receive Chromebooks for Upcoming School Year Every third through twelfth grade student in the South Park School District will receive a Chromebook for the 2016-2017 school year as part of the district’s one-to-one technology initiative. The program, approved by the South Park School District Board of Directors in June, provides students in grades 3-12 with a laptop to use in the classroom and at home. “Technology has been an integral part of South Park classrooms for years,” said South Park Superintendent of Schools Wayne Gdovic. “This investment takes 21st century learning to a new level and equips our students with a powerful tool for their success.” South Park students will use their Chromebooks to connect to Google Apps for Education. By signing in using their South Park School District accounts, they will be able to access these apps both in the classroom and at home. “To prepare students to succeed in the ever-changing technological world, we must give them the opportunities to learn and communicate digitally and help them expand those opportunities beyond the classroom,” said South Park School District Technology Director Richard Platts. South Park students in kindergarten through second grade will continue to use classroom technology including PCs and classroom sets of iPads.
