Jefferson Parish Schools is partnering with the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of Louisiana and United Way of Southeast Louisiana to help families improve their computer literacy. The state’s largest school system is expanding its free computer literacy workshops for families. Registration is now open for caretakers with a child currently enrolled in JP Schools.

JP Schools is now a 1:1 district, meaning every child has access to a device. With technology playing an ever-growing role in a student’s education, basic computer skills help families support their child in school.

This is the second year these workshops are being offered. JP Schools is expanding its offerings in 2021-22 to include more campuses and workshops. Registration is now open for Session 2, which will be offered from March to May. Session 2 workshops will focus on introduction to Google Docs, Google Slides, & Kami. Workshops will be offered in both English and Spanish.

To register, complete the online form or call 504-349-7776. Capacity is limited. Computers will be provided by the district for use during the training sessions.
