We are very proud of and excited about the parent participation and attendance at our parent-teacher conferences. Northwestern Elementary School provides a wide-range of resources for its students. In the area of technology, the school is on a 100 megabyte-wide area network that interconnects all buildings in the corporation. All computer stations in the school have access to the Internet and all staff stations have electronic mail through this network. All grade level classrooms have five student stations and one teacher station with a color printer.
Most special classrooms have three student stations and one teacher station.
All stations have current Pentium processor technology with CD-ROM's. There is a 30-station computer lab with a scanner and printers adjacent to the school for group instruction. Our computer instructors teach all grade level students a core technology curriculum involving word processing, database, and spreadsheet skills. The corporation technology director holds regular in-service training sessions for staff.
