As of the 2018-19 Canandaigua City School year, the Canandaigua Primary Kindergartener's were issued an Apple iPad per student. These iPads are the latest version of Apple Air Wi-Fi 32GB with 3 year AppleCare and are encased in durable, lifetime warranty cases for protection and ease of use. Each is assigned to a student but are not removed from the school. They are housed in specialized carts for storage and charging, and each classroom houses it's own iPad cart. There are additional iPads, within carts, for the UPK classes and the Primary-Elementary Special Programs classes.
In addition, all of these iPads are managed by the school in a MDM (Mobile Device Management) through the software Jamf. This software allows for many benefits to both the school and the teachers, to include remote access to student's screens and overall app management. All apps must be purchased through the school's VPP (Volume Purchase Program) after first being approved by the administration.
Currently, the classroom iPads have the following apps on them:
ABCmouse
ChatterPix
QR Code Reader
RazKids
SandDraw
Scratch Jr.
Starfall
Writing Wizard
