Technology Department Vision
The goal of our department is to help students become safe & responsible digital citizens with the knowledge and experience needed to succeed in their future endeavors. We will also help support and implement technology in the classroom to enrich the learning experience. We strive to educate our staff on how to use and integrate technology in their teachings to ensure that we provide our students with the best possible education. Technology is constantly evolving and our district will continue to evolve with it.
Technology Resources
The official Learning Management System (LMS) of Trinity Area School District is Canvas. Students in Grades K-12 can access their courses, assignments, and content by logging into Canvas via Classlink or their Google Waffle.
Trinity Area School District utilizes Classlink to allow convenient access to district resources and as a password management tool for single sign-on (SSO). Students in elementary school can utilize their Classlink QR code to sign into their Chromebooks.
All students enrolled in Trinity Area School District are provided with Chromebooks as tools to enhance learning and access the curriculum beyond the walls of the classroom. If there is no internet access at home, please contact the Technology Department for available solutions. (Athomas@trinityhillers.net)
Trinity Area School District uses Google Apps for Education for all students, Grades K-12. Students receive their Google account information at the beginning of the year or upon enrollment.
Naviance is a college and career readiness technology solution which helps ensure that all paths students take after high school lead to fulfilling and meaningful careers.
Trinity Area School District uses Securly to keep students safe on their school-issued Chromebooks. Securly combines cloud-based filtering, AI algorithms, and human common sense to block the toxicity and inappropriateness of the internet from kids, while providing schools the tools they need to educate and safeguard. By keeping kids safe, we keep schools CIPA and COPPA compliant in order to receive federal funding. To learn more about Securly’s Safety Solutions visit the Securly website.
