The purpose of implementing a Bring Your Own Device, BYOD, program at Cornerstone Preparatory Academy is to ensure your student has access to a device on a daily basis to enhance and enrich the scope of their learning experience.

The BYOD program at Cornerstone allows all students in grades 7-12 to bring their device to school to be used for educational purposes. Students will be able to access the CPA Wi-Fi network, CPASTUDENTS, through their devices. We are now requiring new Cornerstone Prep students in grades 7-12 to bring a Chromebook as their BYOD device.

It is the responsibility of each Cornerstone family to ensure that their Chromebook is compatible with the apps and extensions used to produce, edit, and transmit documentation that students need to complete assignments. Computers that do not meet the minimum requirements may experience limited or no accessibility to Cornerstone systems.

Teachers at Cornerstone use Chromebooks for instruction and Chromecast for presenting lesson materials in class. Students, grades 5-12, receive their assignments in Google Classroom.

Chromebooks are provided for in class work for fifth and sixth grades.

Go Guardian is a tool we use to streamline and monitor classroom activity. This online software allows our teachers to more efficiently run their classroom time while also keeping students on-task on their devices.
