Technology at SPASH enables rich learning experiences to improve collaboration, creativity, and productivity in our learning environments. To support the SPASH mission statement, we use technology to engage and educate students to become empowered global citizens who are adaptable to change.
Technology should:
At St. Paul, we believe that all students should have access to technology when they act in ways that are safe, responsible, legal, and ethical. To keep our students digitally safe, we require every student to read and sign the SPASH iPad Student pledge (K-2) or the SPASH Acceptable Use Policy for Technology (grades 3-12). By doing so, students pledge to abide by the rules and guidelines that govern the use of SPASH online communication and electronic resources. Kindly support or check-in with your child(ren) to ensure they have signed the iPad Pledge or AUP if they haven’t done so already.
We require each Middle and High Schooler to bring their own Apple device running at least Mac OS Monterey (MacBook production year 2019.) This is a very important part of their day-to-day life, as we rely on technology to facilitate learning.
With Apple Classroom, teachers have enhanced capabilities to guide students through lessons, monitor progress, and provide personalized support—all while fostering a collaborative and interactive learning environment. This technology enables greatly improved security measures for your children, increased classroom management and accountability tools, streamlined network connections, and reduced downtime, ensuring a more seamless educational experience for everyone involved.

Cell phones should not be used during the school day. All students must utilize a school-provided phone pouch to store their cell phone(s) during the school day (Periods 1 – 6), or leave their phone at home.
St. Paul American School is seeking to limit distractions in the classroom and improve overall student engagement, mental health, and well-being.
By eliminating the distraction of cell phones, we help to foster greater responsibility in our student body; we also foster greater creativity through the personal interactions that result when students and their peers interact in more meaningful ways.
In order to best serve our community, we encourage our students to put in a help ticket by simply sending an email to help@spash.on.spiceworks.com or by visiting the IT office in room B103 for assistance. We are here to guide and fulfill their tech needs, so please encourage them to ask questions (large or small). Thank you and we look forward to a great year together!
