iPad Program
All students at St. Catharine Academy receive a 10thgeneration iPad, charger, and case at no additional cost. The iPad travels with each student for four years. Available apps include Google Suite, Notability, Examplify, Homework, and others that correspond with coursework. Each student is also assigned an SCA email address, Focus, and a Naviance account to access assignments and grades from home.
Security is important at St. Catharine Academy. All iPads are monitored by SCA to help students remain focused in the classroom. Students are not allowed to download gaming apps and are blocked from visiting gaming/streaming websites that hinder productivity and success in the classroom.
All iPads are insured for 4 years with AppleCare. Students have the option of going directly to an Apple store or bringing their device into school and having a school official take care of any issue that may arise with the iPad. In cases of accidental physical damage, students are responsible for the repair fee and are given a replacement iPad within 24 hours of the damage reported.
Students must turn in their iPads for storage during the summer months. Upon graduation, students have the opportunity to purchase the iPad for a nominal fee.
