Tri 3 iPad Announcements for Students:

• Please update your iPad to the latest OS. It is located in Settings -> General -> Software Update
• Keep your iPad cases Clean and do not put stickers on it. There are some really gross iPad cases out there and dirt/grime/grossness can get in the charging ports and buttons.
• Tri 3 is also a good time to delete any old apps, notes, photos and videos that you do not need anymore off your iPad. Your iPad will run better the less stuff that is on it.

Send me a Schoology message, email (ben.anderson@district196.org), or come to the iPad office in the library if you have questions or problems.
