General Information about District-Issued iPads

Every student has a managed Apple ID for storage and sharing. High School students may add a personal Apple ID for purchasing or accessing previous purchases.

If the iPad is broken, please contact the student's school library as soon as possible.
Tips for Success

Discuss expectations with your child. When will the iPad be used? What areas of the home is the student allowed to use the iPad? How should the iPad be used when it's not school time? Set up expectations with your child about how to use the iPad at home—and stick to them!

Look at the iPad with your student. Talk with them about what you see—good and bad. Check grades and attendance in Schoology and PowerSchool.

Use the iPad as a tool for learning. Every student has access to the Learning Managment System Schoology and PowerSchool grades and attendance. For information on parent accounts, contact your student's school office.
