Mannheim District 83 student Isaac J. from Scott Elementary won the inaugural Illinois State Fair Butter Cow 3D Printing Contest! His 3D-printed design was featured at the Governor's Tent, August 8-10. Our district's technology programs, including instruction in 3D design software like Tinkercad, made this achievement possible. Congratulations to Isaac, his family, and the Scott Elementary community on joining this longstanding tradition of over 100 years! We're incredibly proud!

Our Purpose

The vision of Mannheim School District 83 is:  "To cultivate lifelong learners, inspire dreams, and shape a brighter future for our global community.."  In connection with the district's vision, District 83's technology focus will work toward providing students with unlimited opportunities to attain high standards and prepare for tomorrow's workforce.  This will be accomplished in the following ways:

• Instructional technologies will support our curriculum by providing students access to a wide variety of integration resources for analyzing, problem-solving, communicating, and fostering creativity while addressing diverse learning styles.

• Telecommunication tools will support partnerships between Mannheim District 83 and others while encouraging students to become global, life-long learners.

• Administrative technologies will improve the effectiveness of administrative tasks and also assist in students' ongoing assessment and data analysis.

• Today's technologies may not adequately meet the needs of tomorrow's learners, therefore District 83 will continue to evaluate and upgrade within its means, current, emerging technology tools, and the district's infrastructure to support the needed learning environment.
