Tablet PC Announcement

We are excited to announce an educational turning point in the history of St. Ursula Academy. 

On December 7, 2005 the St. Ursula Academy Board of Trustees unanimously approved a resolution that a Tablet PC Program at St. Ursula Academy be initiated in the 2006 – 2007 school year and that all students entering the Class of 2010 have the Tablet PC laptop designated by the school that is configured with all the e-texts and programs the student needs to complete her school work anytime and anywhere. 

In the next four years, we will build this Tablet PC Program until all members of the student body enjoy both accessibility to the information as well as compatibility with the programs needed to complete their assignments whenever and wherever possible.  With this accessibility, students will have immediate feedback when taking on-line tests as well as input from their teachers as they are working on current assignments.   More information regarding the cost of the Tablet PC is enclosed as well as other information that will be helpful in understanding the advantages of placing a Tablet PC in the hands of every student in the class.  Provisions will be made to accommodate students who qualify for financial aid so that they, too, have equal access to a Tablet PC while they are students at the Academy.
