Digital Learning and Innovation

A Technologically Rich Learning Environment

The Yonkers Public Schools provides a technologically rich learning environment and infrastructure designed to meet the growing technological needs of classroom instruction and communication. Integration of technology in all aspects of instruction supports a creative learning environment to prepare students for the challenges of post-secondary education and the 21st century workplace.

The Yonkers Public Schools supports students through opportunities to participate in diverse technology rich learning experiences. An array of technology tools and digital resources are available in classrooms and media centers. Resources include desktop computers, laptops, tablets, projectors, Response Systems, network and wireless connections, as well as an extensive collection of online resources. A broad selection of high quality online resources extends access and exploration over weekends, holidays, and throughout the summer. Technology is incorporated throughout all subject areas, encouraging 21st century learning from prekindergarten through grade 12, providing opportunity and preparing our students for both college and careers.

Each school has a website that is accessible at yonkerspublicschools.org. All schools have access to student-friendly web resources. These web-based communication and resource networks connect students, teachers, parents and administrators within the school and throughout the District.

Whether robotics, video production, logical design, videoconferencing, or the many creative projects developed by students, technology supports learning in our schools every day. Visit the District and school websites to see announcements, view information on events,
