Big things are happening in DD4! Last week, our Technology Department received a major delivery, 1,000 brand-new Dell Chromebooks, and they’ve hit the ground running! The technology team and members of our Summer Work Program staff have been hard at it, updating systems, refreshing hardware, and making sure our schools are ready for a strong start this fall. These updates will play a big role in supporting instruction, expanding access, and keeping DD4 classrooms running strong. Shoutout to Mrs. Callaway for capturing the action!
