At EBGIS, students use technology in a purposeful and age-appropriate manner. At the elementary level, technology is used sparingly and always in a supervised group setting. In middle school, students receive instruction in safe and sane technology practices and use tablets or computers as needed for class work. By the sixth grade, students are expected to use laptop computers as a standard part of their learning. Middle and High school students are also issued a school email address and access through a personalized web portal for communication regarding school work and related school matters.

We used virtual classroom technology during COVID-19 but prefer an in-person setting.
