Nettle Creek 24C
Sixth grader Virgina Hayes, left, and fifth grader Ben Evenson
work on their school-issued computers. Nettle Creek School is
piloting a one-to-one technology initiative in four classrooms
with plans of go building wide for the 2014-2015 school year.
Nettle Creek, a rural one-school district with 87 students,
recently hired its first technology director. With support from
our Board of Education, an amazing PTO, and a remarkably
dedicated staff, the pilot is going very well. Parents, students,
and staff are extremely excited about this new tool for teaching
and learning.
