The IMG Pendleton School believes technology plays a vital and increasing role in learning. Middle and Upper School students and faculty have Wi–Fi access throughout the IMG campus to better enhance learning. For this reason, the IMG Pendleton School requires all students in grades 6-12 to carry a laptop computer to each class.

Laptop Specifications

If students already have PC laptops or have plans to purchase a PC laptop, the device must have Office 2007, or newer, installed (minimum: Home & Student edition). Apple Macbooks are acceptable and must have at least MS Office for Mac 2008. Other curriculum support software may be provided at no additional cost depending on the student's class needs.

Note: Netbooks are acceptable. IPads are NOT recommended as they do not have sufficient processing power, speed, or storage.

Terms and Conditions

All Pendleton students must comply with the Computer Use Policy as outlined in the Student-Athlete Registration Packet and the guidelines specified in the Student Handbook. Use of the laptop on school premises is permitted only after registration and configuration with the IT Help Center.

Care and Maintenance

The laptop is the property and responsibility of the student. In the event of loss, theft, or damage, students are solely responsible for repairs and/or replacement. To assist students with any hardware/software issues, full-time tech support is available on campus.

File Storage

Students are responsible for managing the back-up and maintenance of computer files, folders, and documents on laptops. The IMG Pendleton School is not responsible for any loss of data.

Printing

If necessary, students may print in black and white on the wireless printers in the IMG Pendleton School Computer Lab.

Personal Software

All applications installed on laptops must be legally obtained. Music and games may not be downloaded or streamed over the IMG Pendleton School network.
