End of Year Technology Things for Everyone to Do
- Please box up all of your technology in one box and store it in a safe location IN YOUR ROOM preferably where it will not need to be removed for cleaning. If there is not place in your room to store safely, please find an alternate place. Clearly label the box with room number and name. To put it simply, you store your own tech, do not turn it in to anyone if you are staying in the district.
- Here's a checklist of what to put in the box.
- Print the checklist and place it in your box.
- Charge your mobile devices and then turn them off.
- Store your mobile devices in a box clearly labeled with your room number and name. Store them in a safe location, preferably where they will not need to be moved for cleaning.
- Use the Disposal of Inventory Form to report anything that you've sent to the tech "junk pile".

- If your room is used for summer school, please make sure those using your room know where to locate your tech items.

IPAD USERS
- Be sure restrictions are on for all devices, and location settings and account settings are changed to "do not allow changes".
- Be sure you have named your devices by number example: Jones 1, Jones 2, .... in Settings-->About-->Name on your iPads. If you haven't, finding a missing one is nearly impossible, because by default they are all just called iPad.
