All devices listed on our "School Recommended Device Portal" with the company called LWT (Learning With Technologies) meet the recommended device requirements. Click here to be taken to the LWT portal if you wish to view and/or purchase these devices. |
* Please avoid Windows 10 / 11 "S" version if possible, get Windows 10 / 11 Pro or Home instead. If your device does have Windows 10 / 11 "S" it will need to be switched out of "S" mode to either Pro or Home edition prior to the schools BYOD setup process. |
** Apple MacOS X devices are able to connect to our network. However as we are predominantly a Microsoft Windows based environment, a MacOS device may not have the same software compatibility as a Windows device. |
iPads, Android & Chromebook (ChomeOS) devices are NOT SUPPORTED on our school network. They also do not meet the current requirements of our BYOD environment. |
