It is that time of the year again!

SCGSTL has teamed up with Double Good Popcorn to raise money for the technology in our building. Our goal is to one day become a paperless school! Going paperless will give our children the competitive advantage of learning through technology as they navigate their educational journey. It will also help us try to eliminate our carbon footprint by saving trees.

Chromebooks for every child
Upgrades on the smartboards
Online resources for children
Upgrading WIFI and internet speed
Upgrading online assessments

Provide professional development for teachers on the newest and latest instructional trends for children.
