Technology and Information Services

Instructional Technology and Information Literacy are integral components in helping students and teachers achieve the educational goals of the New Providence School District. With access to a robust array of technological tools including devices, software applications, and online databases, students and staff are empowered to elevate learning through increased creativity, collaboration, and efficiency. Internet access is available to all students with parental consent, following the signing of the district’s Internet Acceptable Use Agreement.

To nurture strong information literacy skills, each school library features a digital resource center complemented by a rich collection of print and digital materials, including e-books, magazines, and multimedia resources. District librarians play an active instructional role, delivering weekly information literacy lessons to students in grades K–4 and supporting grades 5–12 with targeted instruction during research-based units. Topics such as responsible internet use, evaluating online sources, understanding plagiarism, and navigating copyright laws are woven into the curriculum, particularly throughout middle and high school. Beyond academic support, librarians foster a lifelong love of reading by offering reader advisory services that connect students with books for both learning and leisure.
