• Student and Family iPad Handbook and Technology Use Agreement

    The Student and Family iPad Handbook (pdf) is a guide for families and students about iPad care and responsibilities.

    Students and their families have the option to review the handbook and iPad orientation materials online at One Stop, Campus iUpdate.  All students and parents are requested to sign the Technology Use Agreement.  Signing the agreement is required in order to take an iPad home.

  • From the Handbook

    Student Progress Monitor Student Progress SPPS encourages parents and guardians to use the iPad to monitor their child’s academic progress and communicate electronically with their child’s teacher(s). Ask your students to show you what they have learned and created with the iPad, and discuss how they use the device in school.

     

    Campus Campus Mobile Portal and Schoology Mobile Apps
    Parents and guardians can use the Campus Mobile Portal or Schoology app installed on the iPad to view their child’s grades, attendance, and upcoming assignments. This year SPPS is transitioning to using Schoology as a tool to house course materials, support communication, and record grades. Grade information may not be available to parents of elementary school children through these apps.

     

    email Email Communications
    Parents may also use the Safari browser app to log in to their personal email account to send emails to their child’s teacher(s). Parents and guardians should not add a personal email account to the iPad’s built-in Mail app because personal emails may be visible to anyone who accesses the device.
