Technology
NEW This Year with iPad Cords and Bricks
Each student was given an Apple cord and Apple charging brick. These now belong to the student/family. If these break or get lost, there are two options for families.
Purchase one from D34 ($19 for the cord and $19 for the brick).
Purchase a cord and brick from an outside vendor.
These cords and bricks belong to the student and will not need to be returned at the end of the year. If they were not sent home during the school year, they will be sent home at the end of the year. If there is an issue and an item is not working, please contact your building administrator to get a different one as soon as possible.
Each student is responsible every year for using this cord and brick for the duration of the students’ tenure at D34. These cords and bricks can be labeled in any way in order to keep track of them better.
