**A protective case is mandatory, and a tempered glass screen protector is strongly recommended. **
Insurance
Student iPads are insured by the school through Worth Ave. Group. Parents are required to provide all information requested for iPads to be insured. Our insurance policy is updated quarterly, so new devices can be added throughout the school year. Any iPad that is uninsured will not be eligible for repair through the school. Students whose iPads are sent out for repair by the school will be given a Pace Brantley owned iPad for school use until their device is returned. Students that have uninsured iPads will not be eligible for a loaner iPad and the family will be responsible for providing a working device for the student. If you purchase a new device during the school year, please fill out the iPad Registration Form so it can be insured.
*Two iPad repairs per school year are provided at no cost to the parents/guardians. Subsequent repairs will result in a maintenance fee of $100.00 per incident.

The Apple ID password will be used by Pace Brantley to install apps required by your child’s teacher. All passwords and restriction codes will be kept confidential and will not be shared with your child. Please input the iPad information directly to your enrollment application through the FACTS website.
