6th-grade students (and new students to 7th and 8th grades) receive iPads, cases, and keyboards during the first few weeks of school. The specific iPad, keyboard and case will be theirs to use until they graduate 8th grade from Christ the King. The school pays for the ipad, case and keyboard, but requires the parents (or student) purchase the AppleCare+ insurance. The fee is $99 if you pay cash, or $102.45 if you pay using a debit, credit or PayPal.
