2024/2025 TECHNOLOGY ORIENTATION FOR GRADES 6-12
The BPS Middle and High School Technology Orientation for 2024-2025 (Grades 6-12) provides essential information for BPS families on the 1:1 iPad Learning Program in Burlington. All students and families in grades 6-12 should watch the Technology Orientation video and read the iPad Statement of Responsibility.
This orientation video includes details about:
NEW for 2024-2025 BPS iPad Care Program
Support for educational technology
The importance of your child's Google account and password
The district's Mobile Device Management System
Essential apps for learning including Google Classroom and Google Workspace apps
The district's commitment to protecting student data and privacy
New iPad Care Program for Grades 6-12 iPads:
Students must report any damage or loss of iPad to their homeroom teacher
Homeroom teacher will place a technology support ticket for the iPad
BPS IT Department will replace the damaged iPad (if deemed accidental)
Student/Parent/Guardian will be responsible for a $50 deductible upon every accidental damage incident
Parents will be informed via ParentSquare
BPS will no longer be offering an optional insurance program for iPads so there is no need to sign up for iPad insurance
Full financial responsibility ($400) for any destruction or vandalism of an iPad and keyboard case deemed malicious by the school district as well as loss of the device
Families don’t need to do anything right now. The only time you will need to take action is if you receive a ParentSquare notification that your child has a damaged iPad. You will then receive instructions on how to pay for the $50 deductible for accidental iPad damage so that your child will receive a replacement iPad.
Families will also be notified if any damage is deemed to be malicious or caused by vandalism
