iPad Program

Welcome to St. Mary’s School 1:1 iPad Program. The school iPad is intended to be exclusively for educational purposes. Each day, students in grades 6-8 come to school with iPads to instantly access educational resources, produce authentic content, and collaborate with peers and experts. The opportunity for students to have access to such a powerful educational tool on a consistent basis has continually enriched the learning experiences at St. Mary's.

The recommended specifications for the 2022-2023 school year include an iPad (9th Generation) 128 GB memory (minimum), must run at least IOS 15 and be able to update, OR iPad Air (model 2020-2021 or newer) with A14 Bionic Chip, must run at least IOS 15 and be able to update, 64 GB memory (minimum).
