Parent and Student iPad Contract

Throughout this school year, your child’s teacher(s) may send your child’s school issued iPad home for special educational assignments and/or projects.  The teacher will always communicate the date(s) ahead of time with clear instructions on how the iPad will be used.  Some teachers may only send the iPad home a couple of times a year, while others may send the iPad home more frequently.  If you have any questions about this please contact your child’s teacher.

This contract will help 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.

I know that this school issued iPad will be 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 know that I must supervise my child’s appropriate educational iPad use at home.

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

• Set reasonable rules and guidelines for these online assignments. 

• I will have a conversation about the expectations of my child’s iPad use and will frequently check his/her use.

• If my child informs me about something inappropriate he/she finds on the internet, I will have an open and honest discussion with my child. 

My child will use his/her iPad in a family area rather than in his/her bedroom.

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

Please refer to “Technology Acceptable Use” on pages (52-56) in our 2023-2024 Student and Parent Handbook for further details regarding acceptable use.

On the days that I have my iPad at home I will turn off my iPad at an agreed time at night, when necessary to complete educational assignments.

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

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

I understand my parent may check my emails and internet search history anytime.

At home, I will not upload or download photos, games, music, videos, or sign up for anything on the internet, even if it’s free.

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.

I understand that my parents make the rules about the iPad at home and if I break the rules my parents have the right to take my iPad away.
