Student iPads will be used throughout the school day to deliver instruction. Students may receive school messages, calendar invites, announcements and schedules via their iPad. Though students will be able to personalize the iPad’s background and some settings, the iPad remains the property of the Jefferson County Public School District.
Students are expected to care for their iPad. If properly cared for, these devices will last a number of years.
