K-2 Blue iPads from Digital Learning Services
As you begin the End of Year process at your campus, please be aware of a big change from years past. You will need to turn in all 5 blue iPads and chargers (bricks and cords) you received from Digital Learning Services. Digital Learning Services is looking to refresh these devices over the Summer since they are four years old.
What does this mean to you?
Since you may not receive these iPads back, please back up everything you may need (photos, videos, etc.) to your Google Drive or your computer. We also ask that you sign out of iTunes and iCloud. If you have a passcode activated on your iPads, please turn this off as well (select this link for instructions).
To sign out of iTunes & iCloud follow the steps below:
- Open Settings on your iPad
- Select your name in the upper left column
- Then select Sign Out on the bottom right column
Resigning Teachers with iPads
Please sign out of each iPad you have (iTunes AND iCloud) and turn off passcodes (if applicable) before turning in your device(s).
Kindergarten through 2nd grade teachers who are resigning at the end of the year will bring their blue iPads and chargers to Shai Walker at Zellars to turn in along with their computer.
SpEd issued iPads and chargers will need to be brought to Shai Walker at Zellars to turn in along with their computer.
ESL, Curriculum, CTE, or GT iPads and chargers will be brought to Shai Walker at Zellars to be turned in along with their computer. (These are mostly in red cases.)
Campus purchased iPads will be turned into the campus librarian and will be given to the replacement staff member the next school year (unless otherwise noted).
