With many students lacking access to technology at home, iPad lessons are a powerful way to prepare kids
for the future.
Principal Michael Laughrey regularly reminds the staff that school is, for some students, the best part of the
day, and the school offers as many programs as possible to help kids connect.
Claire Oliver, parent of fourth- and second-grade students at Dresden, said it means a lot to her family to see
Principal Laughrey and other staff members in front of the building each morning, shaking hands and giving
high fives as students leave their cars.
“It’s little things like that that make me feel good as a parent and make my child want to go to school,” Ms.
Oliver said.
