TECHNOLOGY MISSION STATEMENT
Henry E. S. Reeves Elementary School’s technology magnet is
comprised of an aggressive plan that addresses the challenges
and diverse needs of its students. Technology is an
effective tool and an essential component that supports
quality education within our “Learning Communities.”
Students will have the opportunity and knowledge to select
appropriate tools (i.e. word processing, spreadsheets, technology
research skills, graphics and web design), which are aligned with
the curriculum and core subjects, Reading/Language Arts,
Mathematics, Social Studies and Science.
