DCPS is at the leading edge of innovation when it comes to technology literacy and student learning.  Our students have access to over 180 computers, and with a relatively small population, it equates to approximately a 2.5:1 ratio of students to computing devices.  In addition, every classroom in the school has wireless access, an LCD projector, an iPad, and a laptop, which facilitates the infusion of technology into all aspects of programming.  All classes from Kindergarten to Grade 4 have a SmartBoard Interactive Whiteboard and use it on a daily basis.  Teachers have access to laptop carts, handheld devices, video conferencing, digital media tools, and make use of the latest Web 2.0 tools, to differentiate instruction, and engage our learners.  Having the tools, and the support of the Board to set up such an incredible learning environment is amazing, but what makes DCPS special is HOW our staff and students use these tools effectively.  Our staff recognizes the need to prepare our students for a future where they are skilled critical thinkers, problem solvers, and able to use available technology to its full potential.  We are constantly learning as a community, and in a manner that sees teachers and students exchange the role of sharing knowledge in a reciprocal relationship.​
