Archbishop Rummel High School
2015-2016 iPad Information
For the 2015-2016 school year, each student will be required to bring his own iPad to school.
The iPad is the only acceptable form of technology allowed. Students may bring an iPad that
they currently own. If the student does not already own an iPad, or his iPad is in need of
replacement, the summer would be a great time to start pricing options.
Any type of iPad is acceptable, but the school strongly discourages you from purchasing or
bringing an original iPad or an iPad 2. These devices were first introduced to the market in
2010 and 2011, respectively. Since they are the oldest devices, it is very likely that Apple will
not support them in the near future. Please do not confuse the iPad 2 with the iPad Air 2. The
iPad Air 2 was released in October and is the newest device available.
Again, students must bring any iPad device. It can be the full size iPad or the iPad mini. The
device can have a cellular connection, but it is not recommended to spend the extra money for
this feature. It is completely unnecessary as the entire campus is Wi-Fi accessible.
If the student purchases a new device, please look into insuring the device through either
Apple or a 3rd party vendor. The school has used SquareTrade in the past and has been happy
with their service. The school would recommend the longest insurance period possible which
is typically three years. The school will not be responsible for and will not fix any damage that
the device incurs.
Current students were allowed to keep their iPads at the end of the 2014-2015 school year.
These iPads may be used again next school year. The school installed software will be
removed during the summer months.
New students will be registered on the school network and Wi-Fi during the Check-in-Day in
August.
