Receiving the iPad

• iPad with Holmen School District identification, student name and barcode affixed to device - none of which should be removed
• Protective case for the iPad
• Charging cord with A/C adapter power block

Returning the iPad

Students will return their iPad at the end of each school year.   Students must return the iPad immediately upon discontinuing their enrollment in the School District of Holmen.

Taking Care of the iPad

Care of the iPad is the responsibility of the student.  iPads must never be removed from their protective case. 

Device Expectations

• Students should not have food or water/drink near the iPad.
• Students should exercise care when inserting and removing all cords, cables, and accessories
• Students should avoid pressure against the screen
• While walking in the hallway, the iPad should be held with two hands unless it is in a backpack or bag
• Students should not leave the iPad in an area of extreme temperature (such as a car)
• When students are not using their iPad, they should store it in a secure location. This location may be designated by the teacher
• All backgrounds, photos and installed apps must be school appropriate
• Students should not share their devices unless instructed by a teacher

In the event that an iPad fails to work properly or is damaged, students should follow the following process:

• If in-person school is in session: take the iPad to the school office where it can be checked in for the repair process to begin, if a repair is deemed necessary
   
• If in-person school is not in session: drop off the iPad at the School District Offices at 1019 McHugh Rd.  The I&T department is based at this location and will initiate the repair process. 

Do not take District-owned iPads to an outside computer service for any type of repair or maintenance - All repairs and maintenance are completed by District I&T staff.

iPads Under Repair

When a student’s iPad is in for repair, he/she may be issued a temporary iPad for use in school until the repair is complete.  These iPads may be checked out for home use if approved by the building principal. The same expectations (appropriate care, handling and use) apply to iPads on loan during repair periods as for iPads originally issued to students.

Using the iPad at School

Device Security

Students should keep the iPad stored in a secure place. Unattended iPads may be confiscated by school personnel as protection against theft.

Sound

Students should keep their sound muted unless a teacher gives permission for it to be on for instructional purposes. Students may be asked to use headphones or ear buds when sound is necessary.

Printing

Printing from iPads is not supported by the School District. 

Account Access

In order to gain access to Google Apps (Google Docs, etc.) students should log in with their District account. Students should only use their account. Use of another student’s account is prohibited by the District's Acceptable Use Policy.

Accessories

Students may not replace the protective case provided with the iPad.  If an alternate case is required to support a specific learning need, the District's Assistive Technology Coordinator may make an exception to this rule and recommend an appropriate alternate case with different features. 

Though not required, students may purchase other accesories and choose to use them with their iPad.  These accessories, as examples, could include a carrying bag or keyboard.
