Tech Tips from Mrs. Kees Tech Tips from Mrs. Kees

Please help your child take good care of their school iPad at home by remembering these important tips:

  • 🔋 Charge the iPad every night so it is ready for school.

  • 🎒 Bring the iPad to school each day. It is an essential tool needed for instruction.

  • 🧼 Keep the iPad clean and away from food and drinks. Our school issued iPad cases should not have any stickers on them that were not put on by the school.

  • 🛡️ Keep the iPad in its case and handle it carefully.

  • 🎓 Use the iPad for school purposes only.

  • 🔌 Keep track of the charger and cable.

  • ⚠️ Report any damage or problems to the school right away.

Thank you for helping students keep their devices safe and ready for learning!

It is recommended that you consider getting your Level 1 if you plan on volunteering at school in any way. This way it's done and you should be good to go!
