Nightingale School Technology Coordinator
Mr. Lee Mastrodonato
 
 At Nightingale School, we are always looking for ways for students and teachers to incorporate technology into their everyday work. We understand that the successful student of today should be comfortable with technology now available and that as the workers of tomorrow they should be acquainted with technology just being developed.

We put much thought into providing the Nightingale Community with some of the latest technologies possible.

Technology is an on going process.

Technology is constantly changing. It is our goal to maintain and improve our capabilities keeping an eye on what we must do to provide the best we can for our students.
