iPads for current 9th grade students will be refreshed during Freshman Orientation at both Athens & Troy High Schools. Students will return their old devices for a new iPad with case and charging accessories. Freshman Orientation will take place on August 19 at Athens and August 21 at Troy High. (NOTE: There's a change to Troy High's date from what was originally stated prior weeks).
How students will prepare for iPad refresh:
· Bring old iPad (in iPad case) - backed up
· Must turn off all passcodes, alarms, and screen time restrictions
What happens if my student’s iPad is damaged or missing?
Fees may be assessed based on evaluation and 2023-24 iPad insurance. For any questions, please contact our TSD tech services at 248-823-5092
My student is new to the district and does not have an iPad to turn in at orientation.
Our team will have a list of new 9th grade students. These students will receive their new iPad at Freshman Orientation.
My child will miss orientation – how will they get their new iPad?
Students can turn in their old iPad and receive a new one by visiting TSD Tech Services, after Orientation, or through their Building Computer Tech (within their building) if school is already in session.
Can we buy iPad Insurance at Orientation?
All 9th grade students will also receive instructions on how to purchase this year’s Optional Annual iPad Insurance. iPad damage or loss that is incurred prior to orientation will be charged to the prior iPad Insurance program. We strongly encourage students to take good care of their newly assigned iPad, as they will keep the same one throughout high school.
If you should have any questions, please reach out to our TSD Tech Help Desk (248) 823-5092 or help@troy.k12.mi.us
