Description

Open laptops, or tablets for younger students, are a common sight during class time post COVID, as in this sixth grade class at Cedar Park Middle School in Beaverton. Cedar Park is experimenting with storing Chromebooks on a classroom cart, instead of assigning them directly to each student, to try to reduce the amount of time students spend on screens during instructional time. Teachers and parents say the pilot program is working.

When Libby Sanford’s son came home from his first day of kindergarten in Beaverton, she anticipated tales of new friends, lunch in the cafeteria and playground games.
