Technology

The Information Technology Services (ITS) department supports the use of information technologies for the School's academic and administrative needs.

The mission of Information Technology Services is to encourage and support the productive and innovative use of technology within the entire Lawrenceville School community.

TechConnect Days

TechConnect, a computer orientation session for all new students is held during Registration Days. At that time, students are be shown how to connect their laptop to our wireless network, provided with Microsoft Office if needed, have their laptops configured to use their House's laser printer, and receive assistance with other tasks required to get their laptop ready for the first day of classes. Please make sure to attend on your registration day.
