 Search for on-going opportunities to enhance current technology
capabilities and explore new ones.
 Follow the guidelines of Texas Long-Range Plan for Technology , HPISD
Technology Plan, and TEKS reflecting NETS-S for Technology.
 Ensure technology plans and purchases support and are driven by
curricular objectives and resource management.
 Review and revise the UP Technology Plan annually to reflect the current
reality and assess the impact of technology on student learning and staff
productivity.
 Maintain strong channels of communication between students, parents,
staff, and community to provide optimal learning for all.

7. University Park Elementary
Guiding Principles:
 Develop students and teaching professionals who effectively
use technology as a productivity tool, communications tool,
research and problem-solving tool within acceptable and
ethical use guidelines as established by HPISD.
