Instructional Technology

Through the 1:1 Technology Initiative, every student has access to a digital device.

Digital devices provide teachers tools to create engaging lessons, a better connection to families and prepare students for the digital world they will enter upon graduation. Libby Middle School is a STEAM school and while technology is important, it is a tool for students to explore Science, Engineering, the Arts and Math.
