    On Wednesday, June 7th, all iPads will be collected during the school day.

    Prior to device collection, you will need to verify the items you were given are ready to be returned in good, working condition.  You are also encouraged to verify that your data is backed up.   This will be reviewed in advisory the week prior to collection.

    The following items need to be turned in, in good working condition:  

    • iPad 
    • iPad case 
    • iPad charging brick
    • iPad charging cable   

    No generic replacements should be turned in.  We will only accept original equipment.  If any item is damaged or not returned, fees will be charged.

     If you are aware of any lost or broken items, we strongly encourage you to purchase replacements through the main office as soon as possible.   Broken iPads should be processed in the Learning Commons at the tech desk.”
