STUDENT ANNOUNCEMENTS
iPad Guidance for Students
As the school year winds down, students, especially freshmen, may have questions about what to do with their iPads over the summer. The SMARTdesk is here to help with some key reminders:
- You do not turn in your iPad at the end of each academic year. Your Stevenson iPad and all associated iPad equipment is your responsibility and in your care for the duration of summer months.
- Before the next school year begins, complete a Tech Tune Up on the iPad. Detailed information will be emailed. If you want in person help with the process, that can be done at the SMARTdesk. Summer hours will be posted in Canvas.
- If you do not want to be responsible for your iPad over the summer months, you can turn it into the SMARTdesk for safekeeping.
For more tips and guidance, please refer to the email sent by Ms. Hudson from the SMARTdesk.
