Laptop and iPad Policy

All 9th grade and transfer students at Salesian College Preparatory (the School) are required to have a laptop for the 2020 - 2021 school year. Students are required to have a laptop with at least the following minimum specifications:

• Operating System:  Microsoft Windows 10 or higher, with Solid State Hard Drive or Mac OS 10.14.3 (Mojave)  or higher
• Memory:  8GB or higher
• Storage:  256GB or higher
• Wi-Fi: 802.11g/5GHz compatibility or higher
• Bluetooth:  3.0 or higher internal microphone
• Warranty:  Extended warranty that includes damage protection (recommended)

Any questions about laptops/iPads can be directed to our IT Assistant, Oscar Ruiz (oruiz@salesian.com).

12th Graders are highly encouraged to bring in a laptop this school year as they prepare to get ready for college. 10th and 11th grade students can still continue to use their iPad through this school year.  All Salesian students (9 – 12 grades) will be required to bring a laptop to school starting in 2021-2022.  If students are still using an iPad, make sure that their iPad meets the following minimum requirements: 

An iPad with at least 64+GB of memory, using at least an IOS of 11 or higher. Newer devices with more memory will last longer and require less maneuvering to stay under storage limits.

Student Responsibilities:

1. Students are expected to bring their privately-owned laptop or iPad to school every day, fully charged.
2. Students are responsible for hardware support and maintenance of their personal device.
3. Students must have all apps and accessories required by their teachers.
4. Students assume full responsibility for their laptop/iPad.
5. Parents/Guardians are responsible for the oversight of student iTunes accounts and their purchases.
6. All contents and use of the student’s device are to conform to the mission and vision of the School as well as the Acceptable Technology Use Policy.
7. The School reserves the right to inspect the content of all laptops/iPads brought onto campus by students.
8. Students are to adhere to the Acceptable Use Policy at all times (cf. Student-Family Handbook 2020–2021).
9. Students are to create a passcode/password on the laptop/iPad and keep the passcode/password confidential.
10. Students should not share their passcode/password with anyone.
11. Other than their parents or guardians, students are not to let anyone besides themselves use the laptop/iPad.
12. Students should not provide their personal information to anyone over the Internet.

Disclosure: Salesian is a safe campus where theft or damage to personal property is not common; however, students should always secure their personal property in their locker, or in their backpack which they should keep with them. By bringing their own laptop/iPad or other devices to school, students and their parents/guardians accept full responsibility for damage which might occur to the laptop/iPad, as well as loss, or theft. Salesian College Preparatory is not responsible for the care, replacement, and/or repair of any device under any circumstances.
