What do students need to be prepared come 2020?
1. Remember your password and login
Every CIC student has an @cic.care account. You choose the password, so make sure to choose one that is
secure and that you will
remember. You receive an account invitation to your personal e-mail from CIC.
2. Bring your laptop and charger!
Every CIC student needs to bring their
laptop/Chromebooks to school
every day. Chromebooks are ideal. CIC has insured there are enough plugs in every classroom for students to use when they need to charge their laptops/Chromebooks.
3. Remember laptops are for schoolwork at school
During class time use your laptop appropriately and use it for school work during class time.
A cell phone is not allowed for school work and should be
off & away during class time. Tablets are not recommended.
