Parent and Student MOBILE DIGITAL DEVICE INFORMATION

Throughout this school year, your child’s teacher(s) may send home your child’s school-issued iPad® mobile digital device (iPad) for special educational assignments and/or projects. The date(s) are communicated ahead of time with clear instructions on how the iPad should be used. How often the iPad is sent home will vary and is determined by your child's teacher. If you have any questions about this, please contact your child’s teacher.

This informational form helps you and your child prepare for using the iPad at home. Please read and discuss this carefully with your child, then sign by completing the form below. 

Kamehameha Schools may change the conditions for use of its issued iPad mobile digital devices at any time without prior notice. 

I am aware that the school-issued iPad is used to support education-related work, communication, and research. It is a privilege and not a right to have, and may be repossessed due to misuse.

I am aware that I should supervise my child’s appropriate educational use of the iPad at home.

I am aware that certain assignments may require the use of the internet, and am aware that I should do my part to help keep my child safe while using the internet. Should my child require internet access at home, I am aware that I should:

• Set reasonable rules and guidelines for these online assignments. 

• Have a conversation with my child about the expectations of his/her use of the iPad and check his/her use.

• Have an open and honest discussion with my child if he/she informs me about something inappropriate he/she finds on the internet.

I understand that my child should use the iPad in a family area rather than in his/her bedroom.

If I am concerned about the use of the iPad at home, I should contact my child’s teacher.

Please refer to “KS Technology Acceptable Use” on pages (44-45) in our 2026-2027 Ke Kula 'o Kamehameha Haumāna and 'Ohana Handbook for further details regarding acceptable use.

My parents may impose limitations on my use of the school-provided iPad.

I understand that this school-issued iPad is to be used for school-related, educational purposes only.

I will not share important passwords with anyone except my parents and teachers.

I understand that I must obtain my teacher's and parent's consent before uploading or downloading photos, games, music, videos, or sign up for anything on the internet, even if it’s free, onto my school-provided iPad.

I will keep personal information such as my address, phone number, name and location of my school, where I play sports, names of myself and family members PRIVATE.

If I think something is inappropriate, I will immediately tell my parents, teachers, counselors, or school staff members.
