Welcome Back



Welcome back to King Open School. I hope everyone had an enjoyable summer. It has been exciting catching up with teachers, students and parents learning about all the exciting events that took place as well as their travels over the summer.

It has been determined by the students themselves that our primary goal for this year in room 213's Computer Lab will be "To Have Fun With Computers".....

We have been fortunate over the last year to have been able to add more computers in all classrooms grades K-8, install brand new iMacs in both of our computer labs, build students basic Math fact fluency with Fastt Math, develop early reading skills with Lexia, upgrade servers within our building and so much more.

This year I have many new technology resources and ideas to share with the King Open community. Visit this page often to see what they might be as well as some pictures of student projects throughout the year.
