TECHNOLOGY PHILOSOPHY 
 
ICS-Lima embraces technology as an effective tool to enhance learning and to prepare students for real world experience. Intentional opportunities to use technology does not include the use of personal devices during the school day.

ICS-Lima Network

ICS-Lima is pleased to offer students access to the school-wide computer network for accessing and storing information, for using the Internet and for using e-mail.
The IT department will make reasonable efforts to ensure that faculty and students do not access offensive material. Such efforts may include filtering software, public location of computers, and spot checks of student work. Ultimately, parents are responsible for setting and conveying the standards that their children should follow when using the Internet. To that end, ICS-Lima supports and respects each family’s right to decide whether or not their student should have access to the Internet at school.
The use of school computers and the network is a privilege, not a right, and may be revoked if abused. Students are reminded never to access, keep, or send anything that they would not want the administration, faculty, or parents to see.
ICS-Lima has partnered with Google to provide Google Apps for Education (GAFE) to our students and staff. Some classes will be utilizing Google Classroom, Google Chromebooks, or other Google resources for which a student will need an @students.icslima.org account. These will be provided at no cost.

Provided Educational Tools

IPads
During the 2023-24 school year, ICS-Lima began an initiative to become an APPLE school. Students in grades G1-G8 will participate in a 1-to-1 iPad system, while HS students can bring their tablet or laptop. ICS-Lima may be able to provide iPads or Laptops to HS students if parents sign a rental agreement.
