The app policy was sent to all parents back in the summer. Parents signed off on the policy when they picked up iPads in the summer.
The only apps that may be installed on the school iPad are those on the Approved Apps List.
Students who want to get an app approved so that they can have it on their iPads, they must fill out the App Request Form (1 app per form) which is available in the Dean of Students office and give it to a teacher to review. The teacher will then give it to Mrs. Semore for approval. Below is an excerpt from the message I sent last summer. It lists the violations and consequences for installing unapproved apps.Click here to see apps that have been authorized.
First violation - Student will be called to the office and given a warning. Parents will be notified of the violation and reminded of the policy and consequences. The iPad will be sent to the technology office for deletion of the app(s).
Second violation - Student will be called to the office. A $25 fine will be levied. Parents will be notified of the violation and fine and reminded of the policy and consequences. The iPad will be sent to the technology office for deletion of the app(s).
Third violation - Student will be called to the office. A $50 fine will be levied. Parents will be called, notified of the violation and fine, and scheduled for a required meeting. The iPad will be sent to the technology office for deletion of the app(s).
Fourth violation - Student will be called to the office. A $75 fine will be levied, and the student will be assigned in-school suspension (ISS). Parents will be called, notified of the violation and fine, and scheduled for a required meeting. The iPad will be sent to the technology office for deletion of the app(s).
Fifth violation - Student will be called to the office. A $100 fine will be levied, and the student will be assigned out-of-school suspension (OSS). Parents will be called, notified of the violation and fine, and scheduled for a required meeting. The iPad will be sent to the technology office for deletion of the app(s).
Sixth violation - Expulsion will be considered.
I am sure you can see from these consequences that we are serious about students' following this policy. This policy was clearly stated in the material distributed with the iPads this summer, and it is also in the Technology Handbook, a copy of which all parents were emailed before distribution.
