Collaboration and sharing are the primary means by which we extend our skills. Each teacher has a powerful workstation which is used for standard productivity, internal and external electronic mail, classroom management, grading, testing and more. Each workstation is connected to a large screen television set, allowing teachers to use their machines to present curriculum material from CD-ROMs and online information sources. Each classroom is capable of receiving all local cable television channels and Catholic Television Network productions. In addition every classroom has a VCR and access to a Laser Disc player through the local area network.
Students have access to the classroom workstation at the teacher's discretion.
All standard school administrative functions, including accounting, student records, calendars, communications and library administration are handled by our systems. A parish-wide email system promotes timely and effective communication between the church, school administration, faculty, and soon, to come, parish families. The lab is a place where our students can learn, work and explore in a controlled environment. Each St. Leo's student has their own personal 'account' on the school network, and as such, can go to any machine and pick up or continue work on a project they may have begun on another machine. All of their work is stored and backed up on central servers which are easily accessible from any machine in the school.
