K-5 Device Roll-outs
Dates
September 8th & 9th (Connect & Assess Days)
Locations
- IHD Student devices picked up from classrooms as part of Connect & Assess meetings.
- Shakopee Online Program devices will be available for pick-up from school gym (usually lower level entrance).
Devices
Kindergarten students: Issued a good to excellent condition used iPad.
1st grade students: Re-issued iPad from Kindergarten.
2nd grade students: Issued a new iPad (2nd grade is a device refresh group). Any 2nd grade students who still have their device from 1st grade should return it. Dropping off a 1st grade device during a pick-up time is fine.
3rd grade students: Re-issued iPad from 2nd grade.
4th grade students: Re-issued iPad from 3rd grade.
5th grade students: Re-issued iPad from 4th grade.
Some students had specific permission to hold on to devices over summer for certain summer school programs, tutoring, or other services. In most cases, no action is needed if that was your situation. 2nd grade is an exception as noted above.
In the Hybrid or Distance Learning model, chargers should remain at home (it is okay to mark or somehow label a charger to distinguish it as a school charger). Please charge the device each evening! If and when the district returns to an in-person model, chargers should be returned to school.
In the Hybrid model, devices are expected to be traveling with the student to and from school and to be available to the student on “at-home” days.
