iPad is an educational tool and a privilege,
NOT a right.
We are learning along with the students.
The only way we will get better is to use the
device and try different things.
We have provided sheets of various tips and
facts for you to reference.
If your child causes damage or loses the iPad,
you will be held financially responsible based
on market value.



iPads should come to school every day fully
charged. Not having your iPad ready to use
in a classroom is considered not being
prepared for class.
Students should not deface the physical
device. (stickers, markers, etc.)
We encourage students to decorate the cases.
◦ Everyone has the same case and you will need to
somehow identify your iPad.




Do not use any liquids to clean the screens. Only
use Microfiber cloths.
Students can use their own iTunes account and
we highly recommend the account not be
attached to a credit card.
iPads cannot sync with home computers.
We are supplying one charger only. It will cost
$40 to replace the charger. Chargers must be
returned in June with the iPad.




Be careful of “cheap” chargers. They can cause
fires and damage the device.
Students in grades 10-12 now have their own

letters of their first name @students.uvstorm.org
