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 16.0 or later installed (Required for compatibility with Canvas, Notability, and Apple Classroom)
64GB capacity of storage or higher

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

iPads manufactured prior to 2018 are strongly discouraged and/or incompatible. You can identify your iPad model here.

MacBooks are also permitted for use, but must still be supported by Apple and receive macOS updates and access iBooks. 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 webpage.

Email [email protected] for device inquiries.
