Elementary

In an effort to keep our technology curriculum current, a district-wide initiative is to promote critical thinking and problem solving skills throughout all disciplines. As a result, we are working on a combined effort with the elementary schools to bring more coding into the technology courses that are currently being taught. Code.org is a basis for many of our online lessons at this level. 

Secondary

On the secondary level, students are exposed to robust coding lessons throughout the curriculum.

In Middle School, students use Scratch, Code.org and several other online programs to practice and explore coding to increase their level of skill.

On the HS level, students are further immersed in project-based learning experiences through the Technology & Engineering Department. This department's curriculum is designed to focus on advancing skills and logic through media, industrial arts, coding, and engineering.

Aspen Student Information System

Aspen is a Student Information Management System created by X2 Development Corporation. The Dover Sherborn Public Schools use Aspen to manage student information including grading, scheduling, attendance, discipline, and other data. Parents/guardians can log into Aspen to view information about their children. Additional information and troubleshooting help is available.

Technology Help

Technology help and assistance has been centralized for all three school districts. If you are a staff member in need of assistance, please email helpdesk@doversherborn.org for assistance. If you are a student or family looking for tech help, email familysupport@doversherborn.org for assistance. If you need help with Aspen, email aspenportal@doversherborn.org
