Updated July 1, 2021

Attention new students for the 2021-22 school year! iPad enrollment will be available on Friday, July 2, 2021

Electronic textbooks will be available for purchase on Friday, August 20, 2021

For the SBHS iPad 1:1 program, the administration and faculty have determined the following baseline "minimum hardware requirements" for the iPad program.

Please purchase an iPad for each of your students. The recommended base model is the 10.2 inch iPad with 128GB of storage. Click HERE for more information.

Beta versions of iOS are not supported – they are not compatible with the SBHS systems and can lead to data loss.

Apple also offers coverage – AppleCare+ for iPad – which includes up to two accidental damage claims for $99.

It is important to install the device in the case immediately after purchase to protect the device from accidental damage. SMT, Logitech and Otterbox make very protective cases and are the recommended brands. 

MAKE SURE TO KEEP YOUR IPAD IN THE CASE!
