The integration of digital technology continues to play a transformative role in student learning—both
in the classroom and beyond. To fully participate in the learning experience at CIS, it is essential that

right laptop involves several considerations, including price, battery life, processing power, and
compatibility with school-required software.

Below are our updated recommendations to guide families in selecting an appropriate device.
