Are We 8eady?
We've been preparlng for Lwo years!

" Weve made and continue to make the needed infrastructure
improvements.

" Our laptop cart (mobile lab) usage patterns are changing and no
longer sufficient to meet demand.

" Weve permitted use of student-owned devices in classrooms &
overnight laptop loans with successes in the margins.

" Weve participated in readiness seminars and joined with a coalition
of districts in Montgomery, Berks and Lehigh Counties with 1:1
programs where we discuss best practice and learn from others further
down the road.
Are We 8eady?
We've been preparlng for Lwo years!

" We now have a professional development infrastructure and
resources in place.

" We have teacher and student digital leadership teams and together
have done site visits.

" We are launching our first Pottsgrove-developed and taught full time
online course.

" We have strong principal buy-in.

" We are already providing 1:1 learning for every student who walks
out of our door in favor of cyber charter schools.
