All students at Bishop Feehan High School are required to purchase an iPad for school use. These devices are used for integrated lessons, projects, access to eTexts and to develop student productivity skills in the use of technology for daily tasks. Students are required to bring their iPad fully charged to school each day and are expected to keep their IOS and apps up-to-date. Browse your iPad options: iPads: Click here . We suggest at least an iOS 11 system with 32 GB capacity.

What do I do if my iPad is not charged, breaks, or is lost?

Students are responsible to ensure their iPad is charged to start every school day. A full charge should easily last the school day. Students are responsible to back up their iPad to their school Google account or iCloud where applicable in order to recover data to another device if necessary. If the iPad is broken or lost, the family is responsible for replacing it in a timely manner and should make an appointment with their local Apple store. The Bishop Feehan library has a limited number of iPads and chargers available for short-term checkout in the event of an emergency. If you would like to borrow an iPad you must sign a waiver and return it in the condition from which it was lent.

Passwords: A word of Caution

Every purchase made on iTunes will require the Apple ID password to be entered. Parents may choose to hold the password themselves and restrict purchasing in this way. However, this is not recommended as a password must also be entered to download free apps and students may find themselves unable to access certain resources during the school day if they do not know their Apple ID password. Please give your child access to the Apple ID and password.

Additionally, user error is a common problem when dealing with tech issues. Meaning, students do not know the passwords used for accounts such as books or applications. Please write down and share all password used when establishing new accounts for your student.

Screentime monitoring apps: A word of caution

Applications that track and monitor your students' iPad may cause error messages when trying to download app's that are necessary for their academic work. Please do not use tracking applications on student learning devices.
