Funding Source & Use Priorities

Title vs. General FundEmail Infinite Campus (our student information system)• Grades• Attendance

Initial Setup You must have a MacBook to supervise

and set up iPads. A cart is convenient for setup, storing, and charging iPads. (We use Bretford.)

Create an institutional Apple ID to supervise the iPads.

Download Apple Configurator from the App Store.

Initial Setup Using the MacBook, prepare

one iPad. Set up the iPad exactly how

you want each iPad. Create a backup of the iPad. Connect the MacBook to the

cart and prepare all iPads with only a wi-fi profile.

Finally, supervise all iPads with the backup profile and numbers.

Touch Every iPad

If your school location wi-fi differs from the one used for setup, enter on each device.

Log in one time to iCloud in Settings on each device.

We added label stickers to iPads with their numbers.

What We Did Wrong

It was recommended to use to add a “non-delete” profile.

Forced a setup “part deux” day – single iPad at a time reset.
