Gideon Student Signs with Crowley's Ridge College!

Cody Groves signed a letter of intent to play baseball for the Pioneers at Crowley’s Ridge College in Paragould, AR. Cody has been a Gideon Bulldog where he pitched and played shortstop. “I am constantly looking for pitching to strengthen our staff and Cody will be valuable as a freshman to come in and get some innings early on,” said CRC Baseball Coach Paul McFadden. “Cody will also help us as a position player and swinging the bat. He is an athlete that excels in several areas and will fit in well with the 16 players that I have returning.”

Phase Two of Tablet Roll Out is Complete
The second phase of our tablet roll out has been completed. This phase wraps up the roll out for this year! Students in grades 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, and 11 now have their iPads.
Following the lead of other districts rolling out tablet plans, we have offered an optional Tablet Protection Plan. For long term district students, the plan provides a unique opportunity for parents to potentially receive more value back than the cost of the protection plan if a child graduates from Gideon School District and doesn't have a claim on the protection plan. This is an optional plan.
Our overall goal is to have tablets in the hands of all students in grades 4-12 by the end of the 2012-2013 school year (subject to available funding).

Additional iPad Information
We have added a link to an iPad information page toward the bottom of the menu block right above "Online Resources". You will find documents relating to the GSD iPad program, helpful hints, general iPad information, and a Frequently Asked Questions link. This will be a valuable resource as we move forward with our iPad implementation. Our focus is on using the iPad as an instructional tool to promote creativity and 24/7 learning opportunities for our students.
The Frequently Asked Questions page also details the process for submitting questions that are unanswered by the iPad Handbook and current FAQ list.
