Technology
Durand Area Schools will integrate technology into the every day operation of the district and thereby support and enrich instruction, expand opportunities for exploration and research, give students the technological skills necessary to be successful after high school and into their adult lives. This extends to parents and guardians the invitation and opportunity to fully participate in their children’s educational success.
We strive to keep the electronic devices of Durand Area Schools running as expected. But sometimes, things don't go as planned, and you find yourself with a device that needs repair. Other times you want to learn how to do things yourself, but are lost on where to start. Therefore, we’ve updated our web page to include documentation to aid you in accomplishing these goals.
To get started, drill down in a category to see if we have what you need. If you can’t find what you need, use the request support button at the bottom to request further assistance.
