1:1 iPad Program

Each student receives an iPad Air with Applecare+ and a keyboard case. The school has chosen this device because it meets all of our anticipated instructional needs, has state of the art technology, and has the lightest weight. AppleCare+ has a proprietary tech support line and 24-hour replacement device agreement which will reduce downtime in the event of a device breaking.

While the school technically owns the device, the students will keep the iPad in their possession at all times, including summers, and are responsible for repairing the device via the AppleCare+ warranty. Upon graduation, the ownership and control of the device will be transferred to the family and the iPad will be yours to take with you. Should a student leave prior to graduation, the ownership of the device will be transferred to the family once their fee has been fully paid.

If it’s a problem that is intermittent, please contact Rev. Stratton or Mr. Ringuette for troubleshooting help first. If the device is not working, please contact Apple directly: (800) 800-2775 option 3.

Refer to this article from Apple. All students should turn on FindMy so that they can locate their device if lost.

If the device is faulty or damaged, please contact Apple directly at (800) 800-2775 option 3. When working with Apple, you may have to provide a credit card deposit for service. See the AppleCare+ for Schools for iPad Bundle document for more details. If the lead time for a replacement is longer than 48 hours, please let Rev. Stratton know.

If your Apple Magic Keyboard breaks, it is under warranty for 4 years, so you should contact Apple to procure a replacement. 1-800-800-2775, option 3. If your Logitech Keyboard breaks, it is now outside of warranty, and you should replace it with one of the two devices below. You may not use any other keyboards than these:

Apple Magic Keyboard (M3): $269
ESR Rebound (Black Color Only): $89

Under the AppleCare+ warranty you get two free instances of breakage within the four year time period. After that, you are on your own and prices can vary depending upon the nature of the repair needed. Contact Apple directly at (800) 800-2775 option 3 for more information.

Use FindMy iPad to see if you can locate the device. If you can’t locate the device using FindMy, please notify the school immediately, and the school can try to locate the device using our tracking software. If the iPad is permanently lost, you will be responsible for buying a new replacement iPad from the school at current market prices.

We generally discourage using your school iPad for personal things. That said, you can use some personal features of the iPad. The school reserves the right to lock the iPad and gain access to the iPad at any time.

The school will not be actively monitoring iPads except in some classroom contexts via Apple Classroom. When the iPad screen is actively being monitored, the device will reflect this fact by indicating the monitoring at the top of its screen. Devices will not be actively monitored outside the classroom, and can only be actively monitored via Bluetooth which has a range of 75 feet.

Please let your teacher or Rev. Stratton or Mr. Ringuette know via email that you would like to request an app. Send an app store link in your email, as well as the academic reason for which you are requesting the app.

If you withdraw from Pacifica prior to graduation, we will remove management from the iPad and you can take the iPad with you. If you have any outstanding funds owed on the iPad, those will be due to the school. The school will NOT take the iPad back in lieu of payment.

Yes, all senior iPads will be released from management at graduation and are yours to keep and dispose of as you see fit. The school will not retain any control or ownership of these devices.

Yes you can. Instructions for how to set up screentime can be found here.

No, you cannot. However, the school deploys web filtering through Mosyle. If you become aware of websites that are inappropriate that students are able to access, please let Rev. Stratton or Mr. Ringuette know, and we will block those sites

Pacifica does not monitor internet use, but we do use internet filtration on our WiFi system as well as through our MDM platform. We block adult content, YouTube, and other sites. As always, if you see students accessing things they should not, please let us know and we will add those sites to our list of blocked sites. Contact Rev. Stratton or Mr. Ringuette for more information.
