Our Tech Camps this year are currently scheduled for:
- Freshmen: Tuesday, August 27th arrive at school no later than 8:30am. Tech camp will be followed by the first day of classes after lunch.
- Transfers (Sophomores, Juniors, Seniors): Tuesday, August 27th from 9:30 am-11:30 am.
Students will need to have the following BEFORE arriving at Tech Camp which they should bring to the school:
- Protective case for the iPad: iPad Cases, Keyboards and Accessories – SMA Tech Help Center (zendesk.com)
- Personal Apple ID that is not shared with other family members: Apple ID - Personal vs. Managed – SMA Tech Help Center (zendesk.com)
- Students that are opting out of using an SMA iPad should bring their own to Tech Camp so that the mobile device management can be added allowing us distribute school Apps and links to it.
Each of the classes uses the same model iPad. A quick look:
- Freshmen will be receiving an iPad Generation 10 (model A2696).
- Sophomores transferring in will be receiving an iPad Generation 10 (model A2696).
- Juniors transferring in will be receiving an iPad Generation 9 (model A2602).
- Seniors transferring in will be receiving an iPad Generation 8 (model A2270).
- For students who are opting out of using an SMA iPad click this link for more information: School Issued iPads vs. Personal iPads – SMA Tech Help Center (zendesk.com)
We included the model number above because some online retailers list iPad versions differently. The model number will help ensure you get the correct one. Be sure you get a case that matches the model you are supposed to receive above. Cases made for other models may not work and students won't be allowed to take their iPads home after the camp if they have the wrong case.
For families that are opting out of an SMA iPad in favor of their own we recommend that they at minimum match one of the versions noted above with at least 128GB of storage.
* Information regarding the various other SMA accounts (Email, Teams, Schoology, managed Apple ID, etc.) for students will be distributed during the Tech Camps. PowerSchool accounts are sent separately either via email and printed at the bottom of the student schedule.
