Technology

At Excel Academy, we recognize technology as a vital educational resource. As part of our commitment to supporting student learning, we offer a variety of technology options available for purchase using Instructional Funds (IFs). Please note that, as with all school-purchased materials, any computers ordered with IFs remain the property of Excel Academy and must be returned upon the student’s withdrawal or completion of enrollment.

• All accessories and software purchased with Instructional Funds must be used exclusively with devices issued by Excel Academy. Excel Academy assumes no liability for accessories or software installed on or used with non-Excel Academy issued devices.

• All Chromebooks provided by Excel Academy are equipped with GoGuardian, a monitoring and filtering system designed to block inappropriate or non-educational internet activity. GoGuardian tracks all student searches and visited websites. As a result, Excel Academy is notified if a student engages in inappropriate or harmful searches. In such cases, the parent or guardian will be contacted and informed of the student's Chromebook activity, as reviewed and determined by the school Principals.

• Please be aware that computers issued by Excel Academy do not come pre-installed with additional software, such as Microsoft Word.

• Each student in grades TK–12 is eligible for one computer or tablet. A replacement will only be authorized when the existing device no longer adequately supports the student's participation in the educational program or the completion of assigned work.
