Welcome to the IT Department.
Our team supports the technology, systems, and services that students, staff, and families rely on every day. From the networks and devices in our schools to the digital platforms that support communication, instruction, operations, and reporting, we work to ensure that technology remains reliable, secure, and accessible across the district.
Our work touches nearly every part of the school day. We maintain the district's technology infrastructure, manage the 1:1 student device program, provide technical support to students and staff, and oversee the digital tools that support teaching and learning. We also protect student data and district systems through strong cybersecurity and privacy practices while ensuring compliance with federal and New York State requirements.
Beyond technology operations, our department supports assessment, accountability, and data reporting that help the district make informed decisions and meet state reporting obligations. We collaborate with teachers, administrators, and support staff to identify effective technology solutions, enhance classroom instruction, and prepare students for success in a rapidly changing digital world.
Technology is most effective when it is paired with knowledge and responsible use. That is why we provide ongoing professional learning opportunities for staff and promote digital citizenship, online safety, cybersecurity awareness, and the ethical use of emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence.
Our commitment to the Babylon community is to provide:
- Reliable, secure technology systems that support learning, communication, and district operations.
- Responsive, student-centered support and customer service for students, staff, and families.
- Protection of student data, privacy, and district information through strong security and compliance practices.
- Equitable access to technology resources and digital learning opportunities for all students.
- Guidance and training that help students and staff effectively and responsibly use technology.
- Thoughtful planning, innovation, and infrastructure investments that ensure district technology remains sustainable, secure, and future-ready.
We are proud to support the educational mission of Babylon UFSD and remain committed to creating technology-rich learning environments that empower students, support staff, strengthen communication with families, and prepare our community for the future.
If you have questions or need assistance, our team is always happy to help.
Sincerely,
David Dileo

How Can We Help?
New to Babylon?
Getting Started with Technology:
Four quick steps to get your family set up for a successful year.
- 1
Review the Student Device Procedures:
The device agreement is completed as part of online student registration. Take a few minutes to review the Student Device Procedures and device care tips with your child. A little care now prevents most repairs later.
- 2
Watch for emails from eSchool Parent Portal & ParentSquare:
The district uses both to share important information about your child and school. Watch for emails from each to set up your accounts.
- 3
Sign up for the free parent app:
Every Babylon family receives a free version of the Qustodio parent app to add home rules and routines.
