Important info about your iPad:
This is the iPad you will have for your three years as a middle school student in District 34.
Charge the device at home every night.
This iPad is owned and managed by the district.
All internet use is monitored (even from home), and for safety we use a content filter on all student searches.
All of the apps you need for your iPad can be found in the Self Service app. Student iPads do not have access to Apple’s iTunes App Store.
Never share your D34 password.
The middle school Instructional Innovation Specialists can help you with any questions.
