Technology at Las Lomitas
We are very proud of the technology integration and programs at Las Lomitas! Kindergarteners enter and quickly learn basic skills and techniques integrated into their curriculum, and third graders graduate having experienced iMovie, PowerPoint, Word, and graphics in their projects. The curriculum is supported by software such as BrainPop, IXL Math, Discovery Streaming, Khan Academy, Shutterfly Bookmaker, and numerous apps on iPads. Creative projects throughout the year include students creating kimonos using design programs after studying Japan and students making a full PowerPoint "about me" that includes graphics, inserted movies using green screens, and a focus on writing.
Students attend the lab weekly to visit "Mrs. T" for a lesson that ties the technology to the current focus of study in the classroom. Additionally, an emphasis and time is placed on keyboarding and computer skills.
- All TK - first-grade classrooms have full classroom sets of iPads.
Apps are selected to the needs of the curriculum
- All second and third-grade classrooms have full classroom sets of Chromebooks.
Apps are selected to the needs of the curriculum.
All classrooms have either a Smartboard or a Promethean board, along with a document camera.
Technology is rapidly changing, and we're making sure our students are maximizing the opportunity of our resources.

As part of CIPA compliance (Children’s Internet Protection Act), each Kindergarten-3rd grade student must have a completed Student Internet Safety Policy & Acceptable Use Agreement for Technology on file, stating he/she will abide by Las Lomitas Elementary School District (LLESD) Internet Safety Policy and rules regarding technology (tech) resources. We understand that K-3 students may not be able to read this Agreement, nor can their signature carry merit of understanding on this information, and therefore we ask the parents to partner with our training done at school to review the following information with their child.
