The 2016-17 school year marks the first year all Glenbard Township High School District 87 students will use an iPad for coursework.
All incoming freshmen and seniors who were not issued an iPad in 2015-16 will be issued an iPad to manage coursework. Students will receive digital curriculum and required applications to manage assignments and work flow.
The annual rental fee for the iPad, case and mandatory insurance is $189 per year, per student. The digital curriculum fee is $85 and replaces the annual textbook rental fee of $125. Families that make four iPad rental payments over their student's career at Glenbard own the device upon the student's graduation.
All incoming freshmen and seniors who have yet to receive an iPad will be issued an iPad during back-to-school week in August. They will receive required training the day they receive their device.
More detailed information will be included in the registration packet, which will be mailed in early July.
