iPads

I forgot to pay my payment to have damages covered. Am I too late?

-No. But you will not be covered with the agreement until you have paid $17.50.

Can they download more apps from home?

-No. Students don't have access to the regular app store. Zulu Desk is our school's "app store" but we ask that they download at school with teacher approval.

I don't see a charger, are they supposed to charge their devices?

-We will not be sending chargers home. We will be intentional about having students plug in during the school day.

-Their iPad works with any Apple iPad or iPhone charger, if you already have one at home you are encouraged to plug in their device when you can.

What should my student be using their iPad for?

-Finishing homework. Apps like Google Classroom, Seesaw, Spelling City, and so much more are used every day to do classwork.

-Read! Sora, Tumblebooks, and Destiny Discover are apps for reading ebooks and listening to audio books.

-Get Creative! Use this BINGO Board for creative, educational ideas.

What is the benefit of them taking their iPad home, instead of using the devices that we already have?

-We have many apps set up with school accounts.

-Some apps we use often are paid apps, provided by our district.

-If they would like to read ebooks or listen to audiobooks, they can easily pick up their spot at home.

How does the school filter work?

-Here is a document about signing in with content keeper filter.

-Web filters aren't perfect. It is still important to have rules around what is ok on the iPad. School rules and expectations should be applied to home use.

What are some apps that are great for my child to be using if I want to let them have screen time but they don't have homework?

• Swift playground - great for coding but not a required activity
• Movie making - flipgrid, iMovie, Green Screen, clips
• Reading apps - Sora, Epic, McGraw-Hill (from my portal), ReadWorks
• Spelling - Spelling City
