1. iPads are a privilege to use in the classroom and are a part of your participation grade.
2. iPads are an academic tool to assist in the learning process and therefore, using your iPad inappropriately (i.e. playing games, watching videos that have not been requested by your teacher, taking photos or recording video, etc.) will result in a loss of participation points for the day.
3. If you have downloaded non-academic apps onto your iPad, you will be asked to delete them. If you do not remove them your entire iPad will be wiped clean, meaning EVERYTHING will be gone.
4. The iPad does not replace any other supplies required by your teachers nor does it replace conventional note taking.
