5. Responsible and Ethical use of Technology & Expectations and Procedures: Student iPads
At St. Rita, we are committed to teaching our students how to use technology effectively, responsibly and

opportunities for learning that were previously unimaginable. The student is a active participant in the
responsible use of all technology.
