Social Networking in the Hortonville Area School District

Social Networks are being widely used to get all kinds of information. With the use of laptops, tablets, and smart phones, we all want to be connected and know what’s going on in the world.  Checking out what your friends are up to, or seeing what your favorite brands/companies are doing is important to have access to whenever you want it.

That’s why Hortonville Area School District (HASD) is following suit. HASD has launched a Facebook page, as well as a Twitter page to keep you “in the loop” on what’s going in the district. This will provide a gateway for students and parents to stay updated, and even be informed on things they may not have known about.

Get connected, and ‘Like the HASD Facebook page and ‘Follow’ the HASD Twitter page to get information, updates, exciting news, videos, and anything new going on in the district!

In the Hortonville Area School District, we make sure each classroom has a computer and each school has a well-equipped computer lab. Our commitment to technology extends far beyond hardware and software. All of our technology-based initiatives focused not just on teaching children how to use the best and the newest software and online resources, but on encouraging and supporting appropriate uses of technology to enhance classroom teaching, staff productivity, and student learning. From a library automation system to network-delivered courses to on-demand video conferencing of virtual fieldtrips, we encourage technology best practices based on creative and engaging educational experiences.
