Visit http://www.hse.k12.in.us/ADM/academics/hse21/ to find more information about HSE’s 1:1 program. Parents of current seventh graders are in a unique situation, as students must use an iPad as an 8th grader, but can bring any appropriate device as a 9th grader as described below. Families may wish to rent for a year or two and then decide what device to provide their student for use in high school. 2015 – 2016 School Year for High School (Current Grades 8 – 11) As part of the HSE21 initiative, Fishers and Hamilton Southeastern High Schools will implement a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) program next school year. Beginning in the 2015-16 school year, all students in grades 9-12 will be required to bring a personal computing device to use at school daily. The device may be any brand of tablet or laptop with at least a 9” screen. Smartphones and iPad Minis do not meet device requirements. Firewalls and filters will enable secure use of wifi at school. Therefore, no additional purchase of data plans/cellular/3G/LTE connection is needed.
