Approval to update iPad Software
Carondelet's IT Department has performed comprehensive testing on the latest iOS software (version 11.1) and believes that this latest version of
iOS 11 is ready to be used
with all other apps and systems at Carondelet. As such, students are welcome to update their
school-issued iPads to the latest software version.
Updating is not required, but there are certain improvements that may be beneficial for students. We always recommend that students
perform a full backup of their iPad before upgrading. Additionally, the upgrade should be performed at home or from another location with good internet access (other than on campus). Students can refer to the upcoming Schoology announcement for more details.

The Outsiders tells the story of two teen groups whose poisonous rivalry stems from socioeconomic differences. They judge. They stereotype. They viciously act on an unidentified anger that is grounded in hatred and catapulted by misunderstanding.
In this play - who is the outsider?
That depends on your perspective.

7 p.m.,
November 12 at 2 p.m.,
November 16 & 18 at
7 p.m.
