Parents,
St Catherine's iPad Setup Night is fast approaching. Here are the details again:
This event will be time well spent for any of you who are unfamiliar with the iPad and its operating system. Our Year 5 teachers and students are busy planning some short sessions for you, to make you feel more comfortable about managing your child's iPad from next year. The evening is designed for parents. Your child will receive all the "how to" instruction they need in the first weeks of the 2014 school year.
If you DO have the iPad already, please bring it along, charged and ready to use.
If you DON'T yet have the iPad, please don't fret, there will be school devices ready for you to borrow for use on the night.
There is no need for you to completely set up the iPad before you come, however we hope that you create your child's Apple ID before the Setup Evening, so that you can participate fully in all available sessions. Instructions for creating Apple IDs can be found in the Parent Handbook - iOS7 Setup Guide. You can view, download and print a copy of this document from the Documents Page on this blog. A printed copy of the Setup Guide will be available for each family attending Setup Night.
One session will show you how to download the free apps that will be required for school next year. The Free Apps list can be found on the Documents Page on this blog. Instructions for installing apps can be found in the Parent Handbook - iOS7 Setup Guide. You can also access both of these documents (and more!) on the Documents Page on this blog.
Our Apple technician will be available on the night to install school Wireless Certificates on the iPad for those families who have returned (or bring on the night) a completed Access Consent Form. Copies of this form and the accompanying Acceptable Use of Technologies Agreement were sent home with your child two weeks ago. Once again, these documents can be accessed on the Documents Page on this blog.
Whether or not you attend Setup Night, there are four things you can do NOW to prepare for next year:
