1:1 IPAD Program

Care of the iPad

Keep the iPad mini away from the following: 

• Liquids 
  • Getting liquids like water, soda, or juice will damage the electronic parts of the device.

• Food 
  • This will keep the iPad mini from getting dirty both inside and out.

• Magnets 
  • Heavy magnets have a chance of damaging the iPad and the content saved on the device.

• Extreme Heat or Cold 
  • You never want to have your iPad in a temperature above 95 or below 32 degrees Fahrenheit.  Either extreme may cause the iPad mini to stop working or lose the effectiveness of the battery.

• Cleaning

  If you need to clean the screen, please use only a clean, soft, dry cloth. Do not use any liquid cleaners of any type (example: no moistened antibacterial wipes).

• Screens

Please remember that the screen is made of a durable glass that can break.  Here are some helpful hints to avoid breaking the screen:

IMPORTANT: Leave the device in the district-issued protective case and closed when taking the iPad mini to and from classes, home and school.

• Avoid putting any pressure on the screen
  • Don't lean on the iPad mini 
  • When putting it in your backpack, make sure the iPad mini isn't resting against anything that may cause pressure on the screen
  • Avoid dropping the iPad mini
  • Keep sharp objects away from the device
  • Never throw or slide the iPad mini

Battery Life: 

• Use the adapter and cord issued at distribution to charge the iPad mini
• Plug it into a wall outlet
• Try to drain the battery once a month to help prolong battery life
