Introduction
Hello! I am Victoria Yates and I have been part of the Abernathy ISD Technology Department since 2015! I was the assistant from 2015-2021, and I am now serving as the Technology Director. However, I am a hometown girl who graduated from AHS in 2006. My husband Brad and our children, Camilla and Ronan, love being part of this Abernathy community.
Some highlights about our technology world here at Abernathy ISD:
- We are a 1:1 school district. Each student, from PK-12, has their own device to use for school purposes.
- Each of these devices are filtered on any network they connect to (even at home).
- We are a Google Workspace School. We use tools like Google Classroom, Docs, Slides, Etc... to complete assignments digitially.
- We also provide filtered hotspots to students who don't have internet access at home.
- We have a newly upgraded WIFI system (as of Jan 2022).
- We currently utilize 500 mpbs of Internet bandwidth from Region 17 ESC.
- We will be installing new Promethean Interactive Panels during the summer of 2022.
- Optional Chromebook insurance is available for $15 to help with the cost of repairs. The average cost of repair without insurance is $130.
Our community and leaders prioritize creating a 21st Century classroom, and the support the digital classroom tools that help enable that model. When it comes to the latest and greatest tools that foster a great education, AISD is the place to be!
