Pi Day

Pi Day is celebrated on March 14th (3/14) around the world. Pi is the symbol used in mathematics to represent a constant -- the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter -- which is approximately 3.14159. Pi has been calculated to over one trillion digits beyond its decimal point. As an irrational and transcendental number, it will continue infinitely without repetition or pattern. While only a handful of digits are needed for typical calculations, Pi's infinite nature makes it a fun challenge to memorize, and to computationally calculate more and more digits.

Easy Riser

This alarm clock app for iOS/Android wakes you up early when the weather is bad or when traffic conditions are slowing down your commute. Even if you walk or bike to work, it will calculate the best time to compensate for your unique delays.

This year, the Weber School District received a grant from the State that will allow us to put almost 2000 Chromebooks in the hands of our students. These devices will be going to the language art classes in our secondary schools. With an emphasis on digital learning, we are also using some of the funding to train our teachers as "Google Certified Educators." Using technology such as Google Classroom and G Suite, teachers are able to provide their students with a more enhanced, interactive, learning experience. We greatly appreciate our state legislators for their continued efforts in supporting education and our students!
