No special preparation is needed. Gifted & Talented identification is based on multiple measures.

Let’s be honest, these tech heroes do way more than just fix Chromebooks and reset passwords. They are the digital guardians keeping our entire school network cybersafe and secure every single day. Behind the scenes, they're constantly fending off sneaky phishing attempts, locking down student data privacy, and testing software updates at odd hours so teaching never misses a beat.
Thank you for working hard behind the screens to keep our digital world safe and spinning. You are vital players on Team Conway! 🖥️🐾
