POLARIS
Polaris, the great North Star, for centuries has lead the lost from the darkness back home and into the light. Like that special star POLARIS, our digital academy and its courses, will lead staff and students on a journey of knowledge. A single constant in a world of flux, POLARIS stands strong and ready to guide learners into the unknown and back.
POLARIS brands our district's learning management system (LMS) as our own. An LMS is a platform upon which online courses can be developed and delivered in a blended learning environment.
With the knowledge they need our graduates will lead the district on a journey into the world of 1:1 computing. Students, each with their own computing device, will experience the same type of blended learning environment as their instructors did. POLARIS serves as both a professional development tool as well as a student learning management system.
