​Device Care for iPads:
Grades 5-8

​

​Caring for Your Device

​As a grades 5-8 student in the West Shore School District, you have been provided with an Apple iPad and integrated keyboard case to support your learning. The iPad is a sturdy, dependable device, but it does require special care. In this activity, you will learn how to take special care of your device.

​

​Your Keyboard Case

​Your keyboard case has been specially designed for your iPad. It is not only rugged and protective, but also functional. Please do not remove your case or place any stickers on the keyboard side.

​

​Cleaning Your Device

​Use a soft cloth or towel and make it wet with clean, soapy water. You can also use special wipes that clean and kill germs. Gently clean the screen, trackpad, and keyboard. Finally, give the outside of the keycase a good wipe down to keep everything nice and clean!

​Problems or Questions?

​​What if something goes wrong, or you have a question about your device? Your teacher already knows how to help you with most problems and questions you may have. If your teacher needs help, he or she will reach out to the Tech Department for assistance.

​

​Please Be Careful!

​Repeated accidental damages or any intentional damage to your device (or someone else's) will result in potential charges for your family.

Lost charger?

​If you lose your charging block or cable, a low-cost replacement can be purchased at school with cash or a check.
