Like a garden or a championship team, a reading list shouldn't be static. Our curriculum needs renewal, refurbishment, and replacement to stay vital, and summer is a good time for us to work on that process. On the grade lists below, you can find your teacher and a list of books they know they'll be teaching this year. Books will be added during the year in a number of classes, but you can be sure that information will be communicated well in advance via Veracross/PrepNet class pages.

Required English books and books for senior history classes that families need to purchase for the school year can be found at the following link:

English & Senior History Required Books List

Many families have questions about Prep's policies regarding technology and devices on campus. The Sandia Prep faculty values technology-free lessons and class time, but they also recognize the importance of preparing students to navigate the contemporary world, which often requires the use of computers in the classroom. To strike the right balance, our IT Department collaborates closely with the faculty and administration to establish clear guidelines for technology use throughout the campus.

What is an educational technology resource?
Typically, a technology resource is a tool, system, device, or software product that aids in classroom instruction and engagement. Educational technology can be hardware, such as an interactive touch screen, web-based like a research database, or a software package such as Microsoft Office or Adobe Creative Cloud.

Who has access to educational technology at Prep?
Middle school students have access to sets of laptops in all humanities classrooms and science labs. Upper school students have access to specialty equipment, including graphic design labs and computer programming labs. All students may use the open computers in the Saunders Library.

What educational technology should my student bring to school?

• Middle school students (grades 6-8): Nothing. Everything they need is right here!

• Upper school students (grades 9-12): Laptop.

What are the minimum requirements for my upper schooler's laptop?
A laptop is a basic requirement for all upper school students. The minimum requirements for a laptop are as follows:

• Operating system: Windows 11 or Mac OS 12 (Monterrey)

• Hard drive: 128GB

• Memory: 8 GB

• Processor: i5 or comparable

The Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) Policy provides more details. If providing a dedicated laptop to your student for the 2024-25 school year would be a financial hardship, the school will provide, free of charge, a laptop for your student to check out for the entire year. You can sign up for a laptop here.

Internet Access
Sandia Prep filters internet access for all devices on campus. Our K12 firewall restricts access by faculty, staff, and students to appropriate, educational websites. For a detailed list of the types and groups of websites that are blocked, please contact the Sandia Prep IT Department at  spsithelp@sandiaprep.org. The K12 firewall only restricts devices on our campus. Once a device leaves the Prep campus, parents are responsible for monitoring usage.

Members of the IT staff will be available during the New Student Orientation on Wednesday, August 7, to answer questions.

If you have any questions or concerns, please email Sandia Prep IT Director Jenny Davidson at jdavidson@sandiaprep.org.

The Sundevil Athletics Organization (SAO) is a parent volunteer group that focuses on athletics. The SAO helps to identify and train a team parent for each athletic team here at Prep. They coordinate all apparel, including Prep spirit wear, sports-specific wear, and letter jackets. Throughout the school year, the SAO is able to financially support many activities at Prep.
