iPads and User Information

As you are aware , the Enfield Public Schools shifted to a 1:1 device district during the pandemic . Currently , all returning grade 7 and 8 students have their EPS issued iPad and will need them on a daily basis to fully access our curriculum . In preparation for the school day , we ask that you ensure your child ’ s device is fully charged each evening . For any new grade 7 or 8 students who did not receive a device , your child will be issued a new device during our first days of school .
