- Maintain the use of the case and keyboard to safeguard the iPad.
- Keep the iPad regularly charged and install software updates.
- Connect to WiFi >GotoSettings>General>SoftwareUpdate>Follow prompts.
- Balance screen time with other activities; encourage students to engage in physical activities, reading, and socializing. If you are interested in setting up screen limits on the student iPad, please see: => Click Here: Setting Up Screen Time.
- Remind students of the importance of online safety and protecting personal information.
- Students should return with their iPads fully charged (and updated) for the new school year.
New this year: No YouTube Option
- Some families expressed interest in blocking YouTube on their student’s device. We are able to offer this option this year and block most videos through our web filtering application.
Please note, while the filters in place should work most of the time, technology can have glitches. It is also important to understand that by limiting access to YouTube, the student will lose access to educational videos available in YouTube.
- If you are interested in disabling YouTube on the student device,
