iPads are for student use only to complete educational activities. The iPads have been configured for school use only and have internet filtering capabilities. Please be aware of this and continue to monitor your child's use of the iPad. There is no access to the App Store or Apple ID. All apps are pushed out through the district management system. Apps can be found in the Self Service app
