Gainfield Elementary School

A computer lab is available to students and a new computer cart with 25 laptops will be added for the 2010 - 11 school year. Computers may be used for research, writing or skills reinforcement and is available for all classes with a variety of computer software. Every classroom in the school also has three computers connected by a high-speed, school‐wide network.  

All computers have the capability of connecting to the Internet or searching our computerized library collection. Through the use of software and staff supervision, student use of the Internet is monitored; however, there is no software or supervision that can be 100% effective. It is, therefore, the responsibility of students not to attempt to access inappropriate sites or utilize chat rooms and it is the responsibility of every child to let staff know if they inadvertently access an inappropriate site. Students who do not adhere to regulations may have computer privileges revoked.
