Students can now access the Internet from their wireless devices thanks to the newly installed Wi-Fi system which was funded by an anonymous donor.
Currently 55 students in the high school have already registered for Internet on their Macs, Windows, iPads, and smart phones.
Librarian Susan Burke voiced concern that not enough students are taking advantage of this:
“It’s a good opportunity to relieve the Kalfas lab, the Annex, and the laptops. Now we need to get everyone to sign up.”
Junior Cassidy Shevitz, who registered her laptop, said, “I’m so glad Laguna’s campus went wireless. Having Internet has enabled me to be able to gain information quickly without having to go to Kalfas or the library. It has been helpful and an overall success.”
“The importance of instant access to science is so important, because the area is so timely and changing,”  said Ms. Staci Richard, Upper School and fifth grade science instructor.
Some students have voiced concern about the school having access to their personal information; however, the school can only see the sites that a student has accessed at school.
This type of information will only be viewed if problems arise.
When asked about the  new system, Director of Technology and K-4th computer instructor Ms. Barbara Remick said, “I’m looking forward to seeing students involved in more learning and classroom experiences using technology.”
