iPad News and Reminders

1:1 iPad Update

The school will be collecting iPads from those who have opted not to pay the deposit for 2020 curriculum charges or are departing our school at the year’s end. iPads are due back by Thursday 5th December 2019. Please return the chargers supplied as well. These iPads will be placed into lost mode starting Monday 2nd December with reminders to return the iPad, cover and charger.

Students borrowing iPads from teachers will not be able to access iPads after the Curriculum Day. This is to allow for staff to prepare the iPads for 2020. Teachers have been notified about the process and will adjust programs accordingly.

The Air Drop function has been turned on to allow your child to back up their data over the weekend. The Lakes takes no responsibility for any loss of data. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
