I wanted to send out a few reminders about iPad returns that will occur next Tuesday and Wednesday. Please follow these steps prior to coming to turn in your student(s) iPad and other tech items. These instructions are for all grade levels. I've included a picture for reference.
1. be sure students are not logged into iTunes on their iPad. Most students will not be logged into iTunes, but some of the upper grades might me.
2. If there is no sticker on the iPad with the student name, please tape a paper to the device with the student name on it if possible.
3. place both parts of the charger (the cord and the wall adapter) in a ziplock bag with the student name and current grade year on it.
4. place the iPad and the baggie with the charger in a large ziplock bag or brown paper bag with the student name and current grade year on the outside of the bag.
5. Jr. Sr. High students please leave your Apple Pencil in the slot on your iPad case.
6. If iPads are broken in any way, please email me and let me know what the issue is. jhohlbauch@arcolaschools.com
At this point you should be ready to turn in iPad's to school. I appreciate your help with this process and if you have any questions please email jhohlbauch@arcolaschools.com
