The use of laptop computers or tablets on campus for writing essays or working on projects is a privilege reserved for Rhetoric School seniors. Their use in the classroom, however, is at the discretion of the individual class instructor. Laptop computers or tablets are not allowed during study halls. Additionally, laptop computers and tablets on campus should only be for educational purposes. Playing games, viewing saved media (movies, etc.), listening to saved media, accessing the internet for purposes other than research, checking emails, and the like are not acceptable usages.
On-campus laptop and tablet usage must abide by the Geneva School of Boerne Acceptable Use Policy.
The student who possesses a laptop computer or tablet is responsible for its care. Geneva or its agents is not responsible for preventing theft, loss, damage, or vandalism to laptop computers or tablets brought onto its property.
The confiscation of laptop computers or tablets from students who are in violation of the above policies follows the same guidelines regarding the confiscation of cell phones. Additional disciplinary actions may also be taken. Students in grades 9 and 10 may not bring laptops or tablets to campus. Students in grade 11 may not bring laptops or tablets to campus except in rare circumstances given prior approval by the headmaster.
