Alemany Device Requirements / Apps

In order to provide a consistent learning experience, Bishop Alemany High School requires the use of certain iPad models or MacBooks.

Please ensure that your iPad meets or exceeds the following requirements:

iOS 17.0 or later installed (Required for compatibility with Canvas, Notability, and Apple Classroom)
128 GB capacity of storage or higher

To find your iPad software version and capacity, follow this guide.

iPads manufactured prior to 2020 are strongly discouraged and/or incompatible. You can identify your iPad model here.

MacBooks are also permitted for use, but must be currently supported by Apple and on MacOS 14.0 or later. MacBooks include MacBook, MacBook Pro, and MacBook Air.

Please note that utilizing a device that does not meet the above requirements will severely affect a student's ability to complete their coursework. We also recommend using the Google Chrome browser (on Windows, MacOS, and iOS) for the best compatibility/experience if accessing Canvas via its website.

Electronic Devices Usage Policy: Content is to be accessed for the purpose of academics and completing assignments. Accessing inappropriate content is not permitted. Any violation will be reviewed by school officials. Please review the Electronic Usage Policies Prohibited Practices section in the Parent-Student Handbook for complete details.
