My child is in grades PreK - 5 and are enrolled in the CID program. What information should I know about their 1:1 iPad?
Information about 1:1 iPads for students in the PreK- 5th grade CID program:
NOTE: iPad insurance is not needed.
Your child will be issued an iPad to use for school to take advantage of the many benefits that come with providing access to educational technology.
With the goal of maximizing the benefit of these educational devices for your child, your child’s teacher will set a few expectations for your child’s use of the iPad. These expectations will be reviewed with students in your child’s classroom. We are aware that there may be a need to have a plan for iPad use that is custom to your child’s IEP and educational needs.
Please direct questions, concerns, or further clarifications specific to your child's use of the iPad first to their CID teacher, and then to the Lead CID teacher in the building. Technical help can be found at www.isd623.org/familytechresources. Additional questions can be directed to the District 1:1 Coordinator by emailing disttech@isd623.org.
Will my child be provided a personal technology device for learning?
All students in grades 6-12 are issued a school iPad that needs to be returned if the student leaves the district. Click here for more information about the 1:1 iPad program. If a student must be in quarantine due to COVID and does not have a device at home a device can be requested through the child's school.
I would like to purchase a device for my child. What do you recommend?
Both iPads and Chromebooks are used in our district.
Chromebook: Any Chromebook model with 4 gig of memory (RAM) and a minimum of 16 gig storage will function well for distance learning. All new model Chromebooks will meet this specification.
iPad: iPad model Air 1 or newer ( purchased 2013 or newer) will function well for distance learning.
Apple Pencil: Be sure the generation is compatible with the iPad model.
My child has lost or damaged their iPad charging cord. What should we do?
Chargers & cords are not covered under the 1:1 iPad Program insurance. If a student has lost or damaged their charger, they are responsible for the cost of replacing it. You can purchase a replacement charger and cord through the 1:1 iPad program for $20 for the charger and $20 for the block.
You may also purchase a replacement elsewhere. An Apple or any Apple-compatible lightning charger cord will work for your student's iPad. If your family purchases a replacement cord & block, you may keep them when the iPad is returned.
Why don't I get emails from my child's school?
To update your email address for school newsletters and district wide emails, go to your school's website and under Quick Links, find "Subscribe to School News."
If you aren't receiving emails from your child's teacher, you might need to update your information in Synergy. Do this in Parent VUE under the My Account tab, or contact your child's school for help with this.
