UNADILLA VALLEY CENTRAL SCHOOL DISTRICTDistrict Pledge for Shared Device Use

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.

Key Points

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.

Key Points Continued

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.

Key Points Continued

Be careful of “cheap” chargers. They can cause fires and damage the device.

Students in grades 10-12 now have their own email account. Address is last name, first three letters of their first name @students.uvstorm.org
