Give Your Student's iPad a Holiday Checkup

Winter Break is a great time to spend a few minutes looking over your student's iPad to ensure it is ready for the start of school in January. Here are a few things you may want to check.

• If the lock screen on your student's iPad looks like the one below, then there is a pending update that needs to be installed. Once the iPad has been updated, the message should disappear the following day.

• Check the charging cables to make sure they are not frayed, excessively bent, or damaged in any way. If you observe any of these issues, you should replace the cable. iPad charging cables (USB to Lightning) can be found at most retail stores.
• Clean the iPad to remove fingerprints, germs, and whatever may have accumulated on the screen. Feel free to remove the iPad from the case to clean both the front and back. You can clean the iPad with a soft, lint-free cloth and 70 percent isopropyl alcohol wipe, 75 percent ethyl alcohol wipe, or Clorox Disinfecting Wipes.

• Review the photo roll with your student and delete any unwanted photos.
• For students in grades 3-8, review the Home Screen and delete any unnecessary shortcuts. Click here if you need assistance deleting shortcuts.
