Apple IDs
All students must have an Apple ID for their iPads. Existing Apple device users may use the same Apple ID on their iPhones on their school issued iPad.
An Apple ID is essential for downloading apps and books. Your Apple ID can also be used as an iCloud account which grants you access to 5 GB of cloud storage and grants access to features like Find My iPad.
The school does have an option to create a Managed Apple ID for students, which has restricted functionality. These are available upon request—just email Mr. Fancher.
