District Information
iPad/Laptop Cart Collection
- Very soon, we will collect your iPads and iPad cart. This info gives you plenty of time to prepare them for collection.
NOTE:
We are not collecting certified staff iPads.
We are collecting classroom sets and carts.
You must turn off the following on all devices being collected:
Find My iPad - If this is on, I can't push it off so be sure to turn this off.
If no Apple ID is signed in at the top of the Settings sidebar, then Find My iPad isn’t signed in.
If your Apple ID is signed in, click on your account name.
Either scroll down and select Sign Out then select to sign out of iCloud completely (which will include Find My iPad)
Or go to iCloud, sign out of Find My iPad.
Restrictions passcode (Settings>General>Restrictions) I am not able to "see" whether this is on or off but I can attempt to turn it off remotely. The week before collection, I will attempt to push it off on your devices to save you some time. But, the process is not perfect and, if you've been using this, you'll need to verify it says Restrictions are off.
Passcode (Settings>Passcode) My data says none of these iPads have this setting on but, if my data is not right, you probably know that and will need to turn it off.
Please include a note on your cart should something be missing or any explanations needed. Include the slot# and/or asset tag# of devices with issues. Let me know if any of the iPad cases are coming apart as well.
Be sure to lock the cart (combo is 491)
- Your carts will be collected on or about 6/8 so remember to turn off all necessary security settings (#3 above) by 6/7.
- Let me know of any questions. Thanks so much and have a great summer!

ESL
Spring ACESS
We were informed Friday that the results from the Spring ACCESS testing for our ELL students should arrive this week. Although we have been told to expect a June 9 delivery I am hopeful for earlier because a copy needs to be enclosed/accompany the EOY Progress Report and for many of our ELL students, teachers would prefer this updated report for their MTSS folders as you prepare for transition to next school year. In the event the reports arrive late, I will file the reports so we have them at the beginning of the new school year/new teacher for MTSS folders. In addition, another copy will be placed in the student's cum folder.
Exiting ESL services has become more stringent (this year) so I would anticipate many of our students remaining under the umbrella for support. Please let me know if you have any questions or want clarification, especially when we receive the ACCESS results (they can be challenging to interpret).
As always, thank you for your continued support!
