How can you help prepare students for turning in their devices?
- Purge unwanted files: This is as important as locker clean up! Take 10 minutes one day to allow students to delete unnecessary content (especially photos and videos). In Gallery, students can open the camera, download and screenshot folders, tap the three stacked boxes in the upper right and select items to delete.
- Back up wanted files: Although rising 7th and 8th graders will receive their tablet back, it is unclear what might happen to their tablets or their status as a student at this school. Students can use OneDrive to back up their documents directly from the tablet. This is a great option for ALL students (especially rising high-schoolers) as students will have their OneDrive accounts through 12th grade. See videos below about how-to back up files in OneDrive. If you rather send these videos to students' tablets (via your playlist), just ask me for the mp4 version!

Q: When will tablets that have not been turned in be locked?

Q: When will overdue lists be run (including charger and book fees)?

Q: What fees are associated with student tablets or chargers at the time of check in?
A: Students are responsible for turning in a tablet, charger and case. If the tablet is not returned (or returned broken), the student will receive a loss/damage form at the time of check in. The student will not be charged for damage or loss of devices unless this is their third offense ($35 fee). If a charger is not turned in upon check in, they will be assessed a $30 fee. Students will NOT be charged for stylus or earbuds. Students are to pay Ms. Ondeck for any tablet associated fees.
Q: If a student does not have their tablet and accessories on collection day, what do I do?
A: Have the students return the item(s) to the media center (to Ms. Wasserman) as soon as possible. Any associated fees will be voided when the item is returned.
