Digital Curriculum

Annual Technology Provider Contract Notice

Ohio law requires school districts to provide parents and students annual notice regarding curriculum, testing, or assessment contract(s) with any technology providers the school district has entered into affecting student educational records, as defined by the laws requiring this notice.
As a result, Mentor Schools is notifying you that the District has contracts with the following technology providers. You can view the list and learn more about the providers by visiting this link.

The Mentor Schools prioritizes the privacy and security of student information. If you wish to inspect any of the District’s technology provider contracts, or if you have questions or concerns about any district program or activity that potentially affects student educational records, as defined by this new law, and/or allows a technology provider access to such student educational records, please do not hesitate to contact Mike Lynch, Director of Educational Technology at [email protected].

Digital Resources

Mentor Public Schools has digital resources available to support our curriculum. Through a balanced approach, we can combine traditional teaching practices with instructional technology to maximize student outcomes. The digital resources available should align with the learning objectives in the classroom. The goal is to utilize the proper tools to enhance the curriculum and meet the instructional needs of the students. We use Learning Management Systems (LMS) at each grade level to support the organization of educational resources teachers use for the students.

Learning Management Systems (LMS)

K-3 - Seesaw
4-12 - Schoology

Ohio Blended Collaborative / Ohio Personalized Learning Collaborative

Being a member of the Ohio Blended Collaborative (OBC) will help teachers teach in a blended environment by improving internal teacher capacity for blended learning, identifying a common method and practice to design digital content, and pinpointing a process to evaluate content. The collaborative partnered with ConnectingEd to facilitate common professional development and monitor educator progress on course development. Currently, Schoology resources for core courses in grades 4-12 have been created. All of these courses go through three phases: Creation, Revision and Fostering. Many of the courses in 4-12 are still in the revision or fostering stage. All teachers in the Mentor Schools have access to these courses through the Mentor Teachers Group in Schoology (Schoology / Group / Mentor Teachers / OBC Courses).
