Failure to Recharge the Device

All students are checked out iPad chargers for their use only.   While the cost to charge the device is extremely nominal, we also provide free charging stations in class to provide a free and appropriate education.  The advantage to charging at home is that there will be less downtime in class.  If a student chooses to charge their device in class, please contact the teacher.  For upper grade students (grades 3-5) choosing to charge their device at school, it is the student's responsibility to charge the device at recess and lunch.  Failure to charge the device at the free charging stations during break and/or lunch may result in disciplinary consequences.
