100 % of the time . In the rare case that the network is down , the district will not be responsible for lost or missing data .
Wireless access in and outside of school :
• All Enfield Public Schools usage expectations and policies pertain to the device when used on school and on home networks .
• Devices will connect to home or public wireless networks , if one is present .
• Many public destinations , including public libraries , offer open or pass code settings , which provide patrons with WIFI access . These options can provide internet access away from school .
Content filtering :
• Enfield Public Schools provides content filtering in compliance with existing district and state policies , both on the school network and on external networks .
• EPS Acceptable Use Policies define content considered inappropriate in a school setting . These guidelines are also to be observed when the device is used outside the school setting .
• This filtering does not absolve the user from attempting to access unauthorized or inappropriate sites on the internet .
• No content filter is capable of preventing access to all online content that is not school related . Content filters provide a degree of protection to the user and the device . The user assumes responsibility for not accessing content that is either inappropriate or non-school related whether blocked by a filter or not .
• Attempts to bypass or disable the content filtering on a device will result in disciplinary consequences or restriction of a student ’ s technology privileges , as outlined in the Student Acceptable Use Policy
iPads Left at Home / Undergoing Repair In special circumstances , Enfield Public Schools offers loaner iPads to students . These loaner iPads are located in the Enfield Public Schools Central Office , dependent upon availability and approval by school staff . If students leave their iPad at home , they are responsible for getting the course work completed , as if they had their iPad present . If a student repeatedly leaves their iPad at home , they may be subject to academic and / or behavioral consequences , as specified by school administration and faculty .
Charging Your iPad Battery iPads must be brought to school each day , fully-charged .

EPS Installed Apps / Software The software / apps originally installed by EPS must remain on the iPad in usable condition and be easily accessible at all times . From time to time , the school may add software applications for use in a particular course . School-specific licenses for apps may require that the software be deleted from iPads at the completion of the course or when transferring from one school to another . EPS uses a Mobile Device Management Tool , Mosyle . Our Technology Department remotely manages all Apple devices .
Storage limits on the devices may limit extra software / apps on student iPads . Storage will be allocated to educationally appropriate apps or software , which may result in personal app deletion .
