Technology

Student data privacy and security are very important at Deer Creek Middle School. That means we abide by the Student and Data Privacy guidelines put forth by the Jefferson County School Board and the Colorado Board of Education.

Below is the list of digital tools your student may use while at Deer Creek. This list is ever-changing as we stay current with technology that is appropriate for our needs. Please refer to this list often.

The digital tools in this list are used for instruction. This list does not impact access your student has to the internet. They can still access streaming (Netflix, Disney+, etc.) and gaming sites (Among Us, Twitch, Roblox, etc.) during the school day and at home.

To learn more about these digital learning applications, please contact the digital teacher librarian.

Jeffco Public School’s 1:1 program provides first- through 12th-grade students in neighborhood and option schools a district Chromebook. This creates an equitable and sustainable model for technology-enabled classrooms that prepares students to thrive in a connected, digital world in alignment with the Jeffco Thrives Strategic Plan.

All students can access a district-purchased and managed Chromebook to personalize their learning. This closes the digital device divide and addresses the inequities in classrooms to transform learning.

Students in grades K-12 can also access a variety of digital applications and consistent tools that give them opportunities to demonstrate learning in creative and challenging ways. Each of the technology tools supports students as creators, collaborators and innovative problem solvers rather than as consumers of information.

The program also allows for professional development and learning for teachers to use the provided tools and devices to transform student learning experiences. Having consistent tools and opportunities for teacher training allows for more challenging learning and student engagement and deeper technology integration. 

All students and teachers have access to premium digital learning applications with their Jeffco log-in credentials. A consistent core set of applications allows for student data privacy aligned to state legislation and seamless access for personalized learning. This includes single sign-on (SSO) and integration of applications.
