Why are the students provided with iPads rather than laptops?
Studies have shown that students who take notes by hand, either on paper or on an iPad, learn significantly more compared to students who type their notes on a laptop. With the iPad, our students have a digital hand-writing option, which allows them to complete lecture guides and homework in math, science, and language classes where a traditional laptop and keyboard is not adequate.
What is the cost of the iPad and does it come with insurance?
The iPad “package” for each 2024-25 freshman student is included in their tuition. Below are the items included in the iPad package.
- Apple 9.7-inch iPad Wi-Fi 128GB
- 3-Year AppleCare+ Warranty for iPad
- Apple Pencil
- Duchesne-Approved Apps
- ZAGG Rugged Messenger for 9.7-inch-inch iPad
THE 3-YEAR APPLECARE+ WARRANTY FOR IPAD COVERS TWO (2) REPLACEMENTS AS A RESULT OF “ACCIDENTAL DAMAGE”. THE COST OF EACH REPLACEMENT IS $49 PLUS TAX. THIS COST IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE STUDENT. THIS IS A CHANGE FROM LAST YEAR, DUE TO THIS YEAR’S IPAD PACKAGE INCLUDING THE APPLE PENCIL. ALSO, ANY REPAIRS REQUIRED THAT ARE NOT CONSIDERED ACCIDENTAL DAMAGE WILL BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE STUDENT.
All students are required to have a working iPad. If a student’s iPad incurs accidental damage, she will need to bring it to Duchesne’s Director of Technology, Mr. Schlesiger. He will work directly with Apple to facilitate the replacement of the iPad.
When will our daughter receive her iPad?
Prior to the start of your daughter’s freshman year, a letter will be sent to your home outlining the details of the iPad package. Payments are included in fees. Mr. Schlesiger will inventory your daughter’s iPad and have it, as well as the other items included in the package, ready for distribution at the “Out-of-Box” Day event, which takes place the week before the start of the school in August. During this event, your daughter will walk through unboxing her iPad, turning it on, and configuring it for use at school (private Wi-Fi, email setup, etc.).
Can we provide our own iPad?
What are my daughter's responsibilities concerning her iPad?
What does my daughter do if she has a problem (non-damage related) with her iPad?
Your daughter can email Mr. Schlesiger at jschlesiger@duchesneacademy.org.He will work with your daughter to troubleshoot the problem.
