Pembroke Community Consolidated School District #259 has been dedicated to providing up-to-date technology resources to its students since the introduction of our first AppleII lab back in 1984. Since then, we have grown into a center of telecommunications for the community at-large.
The computer lab is equipped with 23 state-of-the-art HP Compaq workstations and a high=volume HP color laser printer, in a spacious temperature controlled room. This room serves as a venue for students to take their computer-based Universal Screener, called ThinkLink, by Discovery Educational Assessments. They also use a host of other instructional software titles such as Study Island, Scholastic Reading Inventory, CompassLearning Odyssey, as well as resaerch on high-speed internet access.
All classrooms, offices and the library are equipped with new to fairly new computers.Student information processing is done by STI, and our cafeteria meal processor is Cafeterminal.
