iPad 1:1 Learning Environment

Yes. All students are required to have an iPad.

The school will not be leasing iPads. Each student is required to purchase an iPad.

Every freshman will be required to own an iPad with a minimum of 256 GB of memory, due to the size of digital textbooks, that is 9th generation or newer. We recommend the 10th generation iPad. An iPad Air or iPad Pro is also acceptable, as along as it has 256 GB of memory. You will also need a case and a keyboard for your iPad. We also recommend that students purchase a stylus for taking notes.

Please note: WiFi + Cellular iPads are not needed.

Your child may use the device as long as it meets the specifications listed above (256 GB of memory, 9th generation or newer).

You can purchase the iPad from any Apple store, the online Apple Education store, or another authorized Apple retailer. Apple does not provide any educational discount for the iPad.

Students are required to have a case with a keyboard to protect your child’s iPad from accidental damage. We recommend the Zagg Ultrathin or Portfolio keyboard cases. If students already have a keyboard case or personal preference, they are welcome to use it.

We also recommend students purchase a stylus for taking notes.

Additionally, CCHS recommends that you purchase insurance coverage for accidental damage. We recommend AppleCare+ (see buying guide).The device may be covered by a homeowner insurance policy, but repair costs for damage may not exceed the deductible. To pursue extra coverage, you can check with the retailer where you purchase the iPad or contact your family insurance agency or AppleCare+.

Each student is responsible for his/her iPad. As with any personal item of value, students are expected to secure these items in a school locker.

It is strongly recommended that you purchase AppleCare+ or other special insurance coverage to help cover the cost of an unrecoverable or damaged iPad.

The school will provide a list of required apps to all students.

WiFi is sufficient. You will be connecting to CCHS’s secure wireless network. If you have/purchase a WiFi + Cellular iPad , you will be required to disable the cellular connection while at CCHS.

Yes, there will be opportunities during the summer, as well as in the freshman technology courses, for students to receive training.

CCHS will filter the web content available to students through our wireless network. If a student has a cellular capable device on their iPad, it must be disabled while they are in school. Use of the cellular connection outside of school hours is allowed.

Yes - the CCHS iPad Acceptable Use Policy is updated periodically as needed.

Yes, when required texts that are available in digital version cost significantly less than the printed version. CCHS will send out digital content lists over the summer with information on which iBooks, eBooks, Apps, and other digital content your child will need for classes as well as instructions on where and how you can acquire the content.

If a student has an issue accessing the wireless network, the IT Department will help troubleshoot. If it’s a hardware/software issue, it will be up to the student to resolve with Apple.

No, it will be the responsibility of the student to update their own devices.

Students should use their personal email addresses - NOT their student CCHSRaider.net Gmail accounts.
