The district has hot spots available for families to check out for the duration of the school year. Contact the school office to request one.

Apps are available through the Self Service app on the iPad. These apps have been picked for student use by our instructional staff. This is the only way to install apps on the iPad. The Apple App Store is not available on the device.

The device language is set to English by default. Students can change the device’s default language
as needed.

The device has a filter called Content Keeper installed that will limit access to adult or inappropriate content whether they are using the school internet connection or they’re at home. However, it’s still important for parents to monitor device use at home.

The district’s acceptable use policy outlines in detail the rules related to the school-issued devices.

Student device use is monitored while students are at school. Parents/caregivers are responsible for monitoring device use while at home. Google Suite for Education applications allow students to create and share files with others, as well as email students and teachers. School emails and Google Drive files are archived.

Voluntary insurance for the iPad is available to purchase through Skyward. Parents/Guardians of students have until October 1st to pay the voluntary insurance or to visit with the building principal. If a new enrollee, the insurance will be paid within 3 weeks of enrollment. After those dates, the student’s record will indicate that voluntary insurance is declined and the parent/guardian is fully responsible for any repairs or replacement if the iPad is damaged.

You can get support for your school-issued device by calling the help desk at 608-789-8811 option 8.
