- 6th - 9th grades (6ème - 3ème) will receive new Chromebook devices later in the fall (October/November due to sourcing delays outside our control); those students will return their iPad devices at that time
- Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd grades (GS - CE1) will receive school-issued iPads in mid-late Fall 2020 (October/November due to sourcing delays outside our control)
- 10th - 12th grades (2nde - Terminale) will continue to utilize personal technologies according to our BYOD “bring your own device” practices
- E-textbooks will be used for some subjects and by some classes where pedagogically appropriate. In those cases, the necessary licenses will be added to school-issued devices.
