Our Digital Toolkit We empower educators and students by leveraging a robust, collaborative environment: Google Workspace for Education: Driving seamless collaboration through Docs, Drive, and Classroom. The Power of AI: Utilizing Gemini and integrated AI features to personalize learning and spark creativity. Data-Driven Assessment: Using MarkBook to track student growth with precision and transparency. The Process of Learning: Leveraging Revision History to emphasize growth, iteration, and the visible journey of a student's work. From interactive Chrome tools to digital storytelling, we aren't just using tech—we’re using it to bridge gaps, foster global collaboration, and future-proof our students' skills.

Google Drive Shortcuts!

Google Drive now allows you to create SHORTCUTS!


This feature is rolling out as we speak.

Shortcuts allow you to access all of your google docs in one place or even better, more than one place.

If you have a document in folder A such as a phone directory.  But you would also like it in Folder B You could move the file.  The problem is if you move the file from folder A to folder B you don't have the file in folder A anymore.

The short cut option lets you house the file in folder A and place a shortcut in folder B.  The main document has all the user permissions in folder A and the shortcut has in Folder B.

The GIF below shows the process.
