Technology

At Mission Basilica School, technology supports communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and research, guided by Catholic values and responsible decision-making. It is thoughtfully integrated across the school to enhance teaching and learning. Student safety remains a priority, and ongoing instruction is provided on appropriate and responsible technology use. Each year, students and faculty review and sign the Acceptable Use Policy (AUP).

Students in grades 6–8 participate in a 1:1 Chromebook program. Middle School students use their assigned devices across all subject areas and take them home daily to support homework and lesson preparation. Additional classroom devices are available in other grade levels as needed.

Students use digital tools for writing, research, collaboration, data collection, and multimedia projects. Teachers select age-appropriate applications aligned with curriculum goals. Classrooms are equipped with interactive touch-screen displays and other instructional technology to support engagement and flexibility.

Throughout elementary and middle school, students develop foundational technology skills, including keyboarding, word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, multimedia production, and introductory coding. They also learn to responsibly integrate images, audio, and video into their work.

Digital citizenship is emphasized at all grade levels. Students receive ongoing instruction in online safety, responsible communication, cyberbullying prevention, and appropriate internet use through guided, age-appropriate lessons.
