How can you help prepare students for turning in their devices?
- Back up wanted files: Students need to 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: 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 damaged 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. If a device is purposely not returned (refusal to return), the fee is $275. Students can pay for any associated fees with Ms. Ondeck.
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. On the morning of your grade level's collection, someone will come to homeroom to collect chargers and pass out fee slips to students that have missing items.
