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. EPS will not provide additional iCloud storage. EPS will manage the iPads so that they contain the necessary apps for schoolwork. Procedure for re-loading software If technical difficulties occur, due to apps or software, which causes device malfunction, the iPad will be restored to the original Enfield Public Schools configuration. Students are responsible for checking to ensure that iCloud back-up is scheduled and successful. The school does not accept responsibility for the loss of any software or documents deleted due to reformatting and reimaging. Software upgrades Upgrade versions of licensed software/apps are available from time to time and can be installed by the student. EPS Technology department and/or school personnel may take possession of student iPads for periodic updates and/or syncing. Automatic iOS updates will occur overnight while device is plugged in. iPad Check-in If a student transfers out of the Enfield Public Schools District during the school year, the iPad must be returned at that time. Check-in Fines • School iPads and accessories must be returned prior to last attendance date. • Graduating seniors must return the device after their last exam and prior to participating in any graduation activities. • Students, who graduate early, withdraw, are expelled, or terminate enrollment at EPS for any other reason must return their individual school iPad on or before the date of withdrawal. If a student fails to return the iPad upon withdrawal at EPS, that student/parent will be held liable for any replacement costs associated with the device. • The student/parent/guardians will also pay the replacement cost of the iPad, or, if applicable, any damage waiver deductible, if the device is damaged beyond repair or is lost/not returned. • Students/parents/guardians who fail to return devices will be held liable. • Student/parent/guardians will be responsible for any damage to the iPad, consistent with district/school policies and must return the iPad and accessories to the student’s school in satisfactory condition. The student will be charged a fee for any needed repairs, or replacement components not returned, not to exceed the replacement cost of the iPad, chargers, cables, and case.
