BHS to Distribute iPads to Students Next Week for 1:1 Program

Burlington High School's is about to really get going. 

According to BHS Principal Patrick Larkin's blog, the iPad distribution to students will begin next week. School officials have created a schedule that has options for students and parents to come in at various times from Aug. 15-23.

Anyone who cannot make any of the scheduled times should stay tuned for more options as we get closer to our first day for students on Sept. 7, Larkin said in a blog post. 

According to Larkin, on the day of the event, students should show up with their ticket receipt and proceed to the lower library to collect their iPad. Parents must accompany students when picking up their iPad.

"Also, students MUST have an iTunes Apple ID setup before arriving," Larkin said. Students and parents will have to commit at least one hour of setup time with the Burlington Tech Crew before leaving.  For more information on setting up an iTunes Apple ID visit this link.

In addition, parents will need to decide whether or not be they will be getting insurance for the iPad to cover their responsibility in the event that the device is damaged, lost, stolen, etc. Here is the link to the insurance page for families to look at the options before their session. The insurance information cannot finalized until parents and students are on site and have the serial number for their iPad in hand.
Students will receive their iPad and a protective sleeve that is being provided through the efforts of the Burlington Chamber of Commerce. Other accessories (i.e. wireless keyboards, earphones, stands) will be purchased by individual users as they desire.
