Please read the following policies carefully about charging your devices and connecting them to Wi-Fi.

iPads and Phones
- The charging cabinets in the Commons and on the East end of the Boyle Center have lightning and USB-C connectors for charging iPhones/iPads, and can be locked up while they charge.
- Please do not take the cables. They should remain in the cabinet so everyone can use them when they are needed.
- Phones are not to be used during class and should be completely turned off or placed in Airplane Mode.
- Teachers will require placing phones in a classroom "caddy" or other common area during class. Phones should still be turned off.
- The Tech Office, Boyle Center, Library, and teachers do not have spare chargers to check out or borrow.

- Personal laptops should not be connected to the school Wi-Fi and used during class without permission from the teacher in that class.
- Students must still bring their fully charged iPad to school every day as there may be class work/activities that require it.
- Personal laptops should be kept up to date with the latest OS patches, anti-virus software, and cleared browser history.
- Personal laptops must be compatible with 5 GHz Wi-Fi Protected Access 3 (WPA3) to connect to the school Wi-Fi. Older devices are simply not supported.
