FROM THE LIBRARY
Parents/Guardians, we need your help! The library has seen a lot of iPad issues lately, and a lot of it is tied to students needing to update their iPads. Please take a moment to check your student’s iPad settings and see if they need to update. They should be running iOS 26.2.1. It is better to run the update at home so that there is enough time and battery to get it done successfully. Having an updated iPad is also incredibly important as we start state testing next month. Thank you for your help!
 
STUDENT iPads
Just a Reminder:  While student iPads are managed by the district during school hours, you as the parent/guardian can manage this device at home. ScreenGuide is an app that you as the parent/guardian can use to manage your student’s school issued iPad outside of school hours.
ScreenGuide allows you to;

  1. Manage screen time
  2. Restrict specific apps
  3. Lock iPad into one app
  4. Remove lock screen passcode
  5. Plus many more management tools
