Empower Students to Improve Communities
Technology & Digital Learning
Welcome & Vision
We support students, teachers, and families across all four Cohasset schools - keeping technology running smoothly and helping it serve learning in ways that are meaningful, equitable, and forward-looking. Whether you need device help, curriculum resources, or guidance on AI tools, you're in the right place.
Our Vision
At Cohasset Public Schools, we believe technology is most powerful when it serves people - not the other way around. We prepare students to be thoughtful, skilled, and ethical participants in a connected world, including understanding and shaping the technologies - among them artificial intelligence - that are transforming how we learn, work, and communicate.

AI & Digital Skills
Building literacy around AI, data, and responsible use for every learner.

Latest Updates
We are receiving reports that parents with @AOL and @Verizon email accounts are having difficulty receiving emails from the Aspen parent email notifications. This appears to be related to strict filtering rules being applied by AOL and Verizon (now run on AOL servers) to mitigate SPAM from these types of distribution lists/mass-mailing systems. There are no known issues with Gmail accounts.
- Here are some suggestions you can try at home to remedy this situation and ensure that you will receive email message from the school or district:
- Check your SPAM folder - if you find school emails in the folder you should indicate that they are not SPAM in your email client web interface.
Add our domains to the Safe Senders or whitelist in your email client web interface.
cohassetk12.org
and
aspen-sysadmin@myfollett.com
The process for adding domains to the safe senders or trusted sites list is managed differently in each email program. Click here to view a document with instructions for many common programs. Please also make sure that you have updated and verified your email address in our Information System, Aspen. Follow the instructions here to do so.
We have launched Canva for Education for Staff and Students for the district!
