Technology
Tully Elementary offers a full time Computer Lab Teacher/School Technology Coordinator. All classes are instructed weekly in the computer lab, which offers an online lab of 30 new window computers. Our program supports the integrated use of technology within each classroom. Lessons in the computer lab cover Kentucky Core Content as well.
Beginning in Kindergarten, students learn computer/technology skills including: word processing, database, keyboarding, spreadsheets, telecommunications, ethics/legal issues, and slideshows.
Our curriculum for P1 (kindergarten) through Grade 5 students follows the JCPS Computer Applications Skills Continuum, which prepares students for the CASA test (Computer Application Skills Assessment) given each spring on a rotating basis to either the 3rd or 5th grade classes.
