Gordon County elementary schools will begin spring assessments the week of April 11, 2022. To ensure that iPads are available, updated to the latest iOS version, and charged for testing, all elementary students will turn in their iPads by Monday, March 28, 2022. Once returned, iPads will remain in classrooms for the duration of the school year, and students will continue to use their iPads while at school.
Students must return their iPads with all accessories, including all of the following:
• iPad
• iPad Case
• Charging Block
• Cable
If the iPad charger and/or sync cable has been lost, a replacement charger and cable must be purchased. Charging blocks must be at least a 10w block, and the cable must be at least 3 feet long and not constructed of a metal exterior. Replacements can also be purchased through the child’s school. The cost for a replacement cable is $3.00 and $8.00 for the charging block.
Should you have questions concerning this process, please contact your child’s school.
Sincerely,
Alice Mashburn
Assistant Superintendent
