CS Admin Adventure

On January 19th, 2024, WCSD elementary administrators, learning coaches, Title 1 coordinators, grade-level specialists, elementary coordinators, and computer science leads gathered for a delightful day of exploring technology and acquiring computer science skills to take back to their schools.Link

Our Computer Science Success Story

Washington County School District rolled out a full 6-12th grade computer science pathway in just one year! With the help of CS Coordinator Linda Brown, a computer science advisory board was formed to develop the district's computer science strategic plan.

Red Mountain & Lava Ridge CS Opportunities

Red Mountain Elementary and Lava Ridge Intermediate school have partnered with USU Extension and 4H for the past three years to bring CS opportunities to students from 2nd through 8th grade. This group of teachers and mentors have provided after school clubs, Lego League competitive teams, summer camps, family fun nights and STEM opportunities during the school day.Link

WCSD Celebrates Integration of Computer Science into K-5 Core Subjects

We've integrated CS concepts into Math, Science, English Language Arts, and Social Studies in 28/28 Elementary Schools! This means that every grade band in every school will have the opportunity to develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills relating to computer science.

WCSD is the first school district in Utah to offer Computer Science opportunities for students in every grade band K-12 in every school.

What Is Computer Science?

A computer in the classroom does not guarantee that students are learning Computer Science. It is not learning how to type or use a mouse, learning to use word processing, spreadsheet or presentation software, or even learning how to build and repair computers.

Our Vision is to help all understand that computer science develops life-long problem solving skills and critical thinking strategies that can be applied to any personal, environmental, community, career, or social challenge. These critical skills will improve sustainability and global development in all aspects of human existence.

We define Computer Science as the study of computer algorithms, processes, designs, applications, and the technological impact on society. It is a tool that helps solve a problem and a skill that teaches students how to create and think critically.

Our Mission is to ensure that every student in every grade level has the opportunity to learn the principles of Computer Science.
