Laptop Program
The St. Agnes laptop program puts the latest in cutting-edge technology in the hands of all students and teachers. As part of the program, students are required to purchase laptops through St. Agnes for use in and out of the classroom. Laptops are embraced by the St. Agnes community as a learning tool to support the school's challenging curriculum. Students earn 1/2 credit for Computer Applications after two years of participation in the laptop program.
Students receive their laptops during a required session of computer training prior to the first day of school in August. Technical support is offered throughout the day in the C.A.V.E. which is located in room 200. Each computer comes with a four year warranty, which is serviced on campus during the school year. |
For the 2008-2009 school year, the cost for the laptop computer was in the $2000 range. A non-refundable down payment is due at ninth grade registration in April. The remaining balance can be paid in one of three ways: 1) Full payment after down payment due by May 31, 2) Bank loan from Encore Bank (separate application required), or 3) Apply for financial assistance through the St. Agnes Academy Business Office by January 30, 2009.
