BYOD Program
Windows Devices
All Providence Catholic students are required to bring a personal Windows laptop or tablet PC to school each day. Devices must meet or exceed our minimum specifications, listed here. MacBooks, Chromebooks, iPads, and Android devices do not meet the requirements.
To support student learning, Microsoft 365 is provided free of charge, and all other required apps are available at no cost. Families may purchase the device from any vendor, but it must follow school guidelines to be approved for classroom use.
Required accessories include:
- Compatible stylus
- Protective sleeve
- Second power adapter to keep at school
- Headset with microphone
- An extended warranty with accidental damage coverage is strongly recommended.
