Wakefield School

Wakefield School integrates technology to support student learning. Our goal is for technology to transparently support our students, faculty, staff, and coaches in developing themselves to their fullest potential. Technology encourages communication among parents, students, and faculty, and we believe technology harnessed to a rigorous and content-rich curriculum will help our students to lead extraordinary lives. Wakefield School became the first Google Education school in Northern Virginia in 2009. We made a commitment to cloud computing and 21st century education with this endeavor. We established Wakefield School email addresses for all of our students in grades 5-12 and are integrating Google Applications into safe and guided collaboration and sharing within our community. Our students and faculty are now connected to each other whenever and wherever they are accessing the Internet through Google Applications and Documents. Our parents and students are connected to their teachers through the use of NetClassroom which allows parents to monitor student assignments and grades in real time. Assignment grades are reported as they are entered into the teacher's electronic grade book. The grade books of all of our teachers in grades 4-12 are reported in Net Classroom.
