Device Care & Student Safety

Students should charge the device at home every night and bring it to school (with charger) every day.
- Always use the black neoprene carrying case provided by the district.
- If the device becomes dirty, please use a damp, soft cloth to clean the outside. Never spray cleaner directly on the device.

There is an internet filter on the device both at school and home, but filters are not perfect. Students should not be online unsupervised.
- It is not advisable to let students charge/store the devices in their bedrooms.

Seesaw APP

This single platform allows for teacher/parent communication and displaying student work. When school begins, you will receive an invitation from your classroom teacher to follow your child on Seesaw to view their work in school and receive messages from all teachers in the school.
