Fort Ann Central School District is located at One Catherine Street Fort Ann, NY serving grades PK-12 in Washington County. As a part of its technology plan, the Fort Ann Central School District will encourage its students to expand their knowledge, develop concepts, and embrace attitudes and exercise thinking skills that will allow every student the chance to take his/her place as a contributing citizen in a complex global community. The Fort Ann School District, following a community decision not to consolidate the district into an enlarged district, has undertaken a large-scale building construction project to renovate the school building.

As a part of that capital project, the voters approved a technology component of the bond to implement a new technology infrastructure in all the classrooms and throughout the school building. This infrastructure plan will include computer classrooms, library computers, classroom presentation computers, network equipment and servers. In addition, Fort Ann is working with staff to build the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively integrate technology into the classrooms. Staff participation in professional development opportunities has been a major part of the district’s staff development initiative to date.

The District staff members show a personal interest in developing students’ independent and creative thought, willingness to accept intellectual risks and challenges, forming superior work habits and cooperative, positive approaches to learning. While these attributes cannot always be precisely measured and adjusted, Teachers honor them and work energetically to foster their development. There is no doubt that the development of these skills brings with them not only a sense of academic achievement but also a feeling of pride and satisfaction.
