At ATES, we're committed to providing every student with the tools and opportunities they need to thrive both during the school year and over the summer.
This summer, all students will be allowed to check out a technology device that will support continued growth. This will ensure continued access to tools such as ST Math and Benchmark Universe that allow students to work at their own pace and level. Programs like these adapt to each child's needs, providing extra support in areas where they're building skills and advancing them when they're ready for more challenges. This opportunity will allow students to continue their personalized learning at home, to develop digital literacies and important routines around managing their technology.
If you are interested in checking out a computer over the summer, please fill out this form (https://forms.gle/TDAcR38Ld1ro53gh6).
Questions or Concerns?
If you'd like to learn more about how technology supports learning at Annandale Terrace Elementary School or if you have questions as we prepare for this summer, please reach out to John Greenwood (jcgreenwood1@fcps.edu) or Ashley Ireland (asireland@fcps.edu). We value your partnership and want to ensure every family feels informed and supported.
Thank you for working alongside us to provide your child with every opportunity to succeed.
