Our goal in the Technology Department is to support the district's mission by effectively integrating innovative technology into the curriculum, so our students will be prepared to use technology as a tool in everyday life. We are committed to promoting the use of technology for all students, staff, and parents through the academic curriculum.

The Technology Department supports an environment that encourages standards-based learning by providing:

• Tech support for installation and maintenance of hardware, software, and identification of network resources

• Support for integrating technology in the classrooms

• Teacher training in technology integration

• Cutting-edge technological tools and user support

We also provide support for Internet connectivity, internal network connections, internal and external websites, computers, email, and the Synergy Parent Portal (see parent quick links on Home page).

Please open a ticket with any technology questions or concerns you have, and we will be happy to help.

As emerging technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) become more prevalent, SCV35 is proactively developing principles to guide the safe, effective, and responsible use of these tools for teaching and learning. SCV35 embraces the core beliefs emphasized in the Generative Artificial Intelligence in K-12 Education: Guidance for Arizona Schools and School Systems:

1. Artificial Intelligence has the potential to be the catalyst for positive transformation of education models; and

2. Responsible implementation requires a nuanced understanding of the ethical implications.

Click here to access the full SCV35 Guidance for Artificial Intelligence Usage document, which outlines recommended guidance and relevant technology and student conduct policies. Families, students, and teachers may also find the SCV35 AI Handbook a helpful tool for learning more about the possibilities and limits of using generative AI. The handbook was developed during SY24-25 by the SCV35 AI Task Force, comprised of K-12 educators.
