Technology Services

The focus of the Technology Services Department is to support our students and staff by providing the tools, technology and services needed to increase student achievement in all areas of their education. We are responsible for ensuring that all of our systems are aligned with student learning goals, and the District’s strategic plan in preparing students to be “tech-savvy, tech-literate." Through assessments and data, we will ensure the continuous support of the educational priorities of our District.

The Tukwila School District is 1:1 for technology for all students. This means that there is 1 device for every 1 student. Kindergarten has iPads at a rate of 1 device between 1 student. From 1st grade to 12th grade, they start learning to use a keyboard, and have access to Chromebooks.

All students 1st grade and above have access to Chromebooks, with online data storage.  Access to the web is no problem, because all buildings in the district are 100% WiFi enabled.

Tukwila is a Google-based district. Email and online functions are based on a Google shell, which is a modified version of Gmail specifically for education.  This means that users' documents and files are accessible from any place where they can access an internet connection.
