Mayor Thomas M. Menino personally congratulated each graduate of the Technology Goes Home @ School pilot program at their February commencement ceremony hosted by the Wentworth Institute of Technology.
Over 55 families graduated from the program that was available at the Nathan Hale, Henry Higginson, Horace Mann School for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, Mary Lyon and Lucy Stone Elementary Schools – through the fourth grade classroom and at TechBoston Academy to the ninth graders. Teachers worked the additional hours for a nominal stipend, to train parents and children on the TGH curriculum (basics of technology), in addition to the MyBPS portal that will allow parents, teachers and administrators to communicate, around the clock, on their child’s progress.
