Wayne Local School District issued the following announcement on February 11.
Computer Science & Technology in grades K-5 at WES
The Ohio Department of Education has worked to fully align Ohio’s Standards in Computer Science to Ohio’s five year strategic plan for education – Each Child, Our Future. The strategic plan acknowledges a major education policy shift around computer science & technology. A student’s ability to use technology strategically is now identified as foundational and just as important as Mathematics and English Language Arts, from which all other learning is built. With our new elementary building, a new Computer Science & Technology course was implemented and is taken by all full day kindergarten students through fifth grade students. Ms. Denise Hartzell is working to completely develop this program for our students and they are loving this opportunity!
Above is a second grade class that just started their first keyboarding lesson. Just think how many technical skills they will have by the time they enter Waynesville Middle School!
