Instructional Technology

PSPA believes that the use of a variety of technologies are an integral and essential part of education as well as in the school workplace. Accordingly, PSPA provides students or staff with a chromebook or laptop, School Issued Google Workspace Account, Network Access, and access to other technology resources for instruction. Chromebooks used by PSPA include Lenovo 300e/500e units. Faculty and Staff laptops include MacBooks, Lenovo Yoga/XI/X13 models.  iPADs are also used by our K-5 Technology Programming. Foundational to our Instructional Technology is a robust wireless network supported by two ISPs, MCNC and ATT, with a regularly updated Firewall with Zscaler deployment for CIPA compliance.

On campus any number of instructional tools are used including Go Guardian, Kami, Screencastify and others. All faculty, staff, and students employ the use of Google Workspace apps such as Gmail, Jamboard, Google Slides/Docs/Forms, Google Drive (including shared drives), and Google Meet. Instructional apps include iREADY, Learning A-Z, IXL, Flocabulary, Common Sense Digital Media, Scratch and other coding apps, HillRAP Reading Intervention applications, etc.

As a courtesy to parents, we offer a PSPA Technology Fee to offset expensive repairs to chromebooks due to accidents. This is  further supported by a Faculty, Staff, and Student Technology Help Desk.
