Preschool Technology

Preschool 4 teachers Mrs. Jeanne Mulieri and Mrs. Mary Giaquinto know their four year old students need a strong focus on cognitive development along with attention to their social/emotional development to be ready for kindergarten. Technology can play a key role in this preparation. With the recent addition of two Smartboards to their classrooms, SCS preschool 4 students are now given an opportunity to explore learning using technology tools in a playful, supportive environment. Shown above, preschool 4 student Olivia R. works on solving a math problem on a Smartboard in Mrs. Giaquinto’s classroom.

Technology upgrades!

St. Catherine of Siena School's Technology program as seen many upgrades this summer thanks in part to a federal grant and funding from the SCS Technology Fund.

Our Technology Lab is now home to 30 new HP computers! Our wireless network has also been upgraded providing all classrooms with stronger and faster wireless capability. Each classroom will now have 3 student computers in the classroom along with a dedicated computer for the wireless Mimio Xis interactive boards mounted in each classroom. There are also 2 mobile Smartboards which can be rotated where needed. All teachers also have access to laptops for parent communication and lesson planning.

Some educational projects are also enhanced by every student in the classroom having access to a laptop at their desk...not a problem at SCS! We have 26 mobile netbook computers which can be accessed by teachers for use in their classrooms at any time.

Special thanks to all our parents and parishioners who supported this year's SCS Golf Outing. Proceeds from the event support the SCS Technology Fund along with proceeds from the SCS Spiritwear sold at the school.
