Four classes, 94 students Teacher curriculum writing this summer Each student will be provided with an iPad

to use in class and at home iPad remains the property of D95

Bring device daily to school fully charged Be a responsible user of technology Agree to warranty conditions Use digital resources to extend your

learning

The District will repair or replace damaged equipment resulting from normal use.

The iPad is covered with Apple Care + (2 year warranty with up to 2 incidences of accidental damage coverage with deductible  $50/ $75)

To participate: Parents must sign letter and agree to cover the cost of accidental repair (if needed) and replacement cost (if lost or stolen)

Students whose parents do not agree, will have use of the iPad during science class only.

While inside the district, students are subject to the District’s Internet filter which blocks certain visual depictions in compliance with the Children’s Internet Protection Act.  While at home, Internet access is (most likely) unfiltered.  

Regardless of where the Internet is accessed and whether or not the Internet is filtered, students are subject to all provisions of District’s Access to Electronic Networks and expected to use the device in a responsible manner.

Parents/guardians must supervise their child’s tablet use at home and discuss Internet safety with their child.

Certainly not required but to connect the iPad it must be wireless

Downloading District purchased apps is acceptable.

Downloading educationally appropriate free apps is allowed.

Downloading a non-District, purchased app is highly discouraged as it is then “owned” by the district created iTunes account tied to the device.

Under no circumstances may a personal credit card number be added to your district iTunes account.

Battery life Easy to support Tablets are the technology of our kids Quantity and quality of educational apps Instant on
