Bring Your Own Device

Technology, like textbooks and other classroom materials, is an integral part of the resources that your students need for their learning, both at school and at home. You can find more details on what is required for the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) program below. You can also contact our staff in the Walsh Technology Center with any questions about your students' devices, what applications they may need, etc. by emailing support@bishopoconnell.org. 

All students need a dedicated device to use at school. They are required to bring a laptop to school with them every day that they are on campus. Students should be ready to use their devices all day, which means that they should make sure they charge their computers every night so that they are ready with a full charge each day.  Devices must be charged every night.

If you have any questions about purchasing a device, please use the email address above for more information.

IT policies and procedures are detailed in the Bishop O’Connell Student Handbook.

BYOD Program Information

Recognizing the use of collaborative technology as part of each student's learning experience, Bishop O'Connell High School has instituted a BYOD program that follow educational best practices for integrating technology into student-centered learning. 

The BYOD program for all students will be as follows:

Required Hardware (minimum requirements)

Required Applications

Purchasing a Computer?

Bishop O'Connell's BYOD policy does not specify a particular brand or vendor for a student's device, as long as the devices meets our technical requirements. For the convenience of our families, we are working with Computerware, a reputable, local computer vendor that families can order through. This is the company that Bishop O'Connell uses to purchase most of our computer equipment. If you are looking to purchase a new device for your student, you can visit the Bishop O'Connell page on Computerware's website for more information on the devices they are offering, in addition to the benefits the company provides for our Bishop O'Connell families at https://www.cwit.com/djo/.
