Don’t unbox the iPad until you are ready to install the screen protector. 

Make sure you have lots of space and a clean dust free flat surface before you start. 

  1. Remove the screen protector from its case and the iPad from the box.
  2. Take care not to touch the iPad screen before installing the screen protector. 
  3. If any dust particles fall on the screen you can remove them with the stickers in the toolkit.
  4. Very carefully remove the protective film from the screen protector, take care as the screen protector is made of glass. 
  5. Using the paper tab on the protector, remove the plastic protective film protection.
  6. Align the cutout  for the home button and applying a small amount of pressure to the middle of the protector touch it down to the middle of the screen. 
  7. If there are any air bubbles under the protector you can push these to the side using the polishing cloth. 

Installing the iPad in the Logitech keyboard case

Sometimes there are issues on the first evening at home. These can usually be resolved the next day in school. The most important thing on the first evening is to get the iPad protected with the screen protector fitted and the iPad in its case.

Management system and school apps

We will go through how to use our school website and associated apps in school with students. You can use the device as a regular iPad at home. Our management system applies between 8.00am and 4.30pm. There is a wealth of advice on Apple’s website on setting up parental controls at home.

Ensuring safe use of the iPad at home

After 4.30pm the safety controls are handed over to you as a family. For the best level of protection this requires setting up an Apple family set of accounts, and using parental controls such as screen time.
If you do not already have an Apple iCloud account, guidance on how to do that is here: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/108647
Here are some instructions on how to set up a family sharing set of accounts and add any existing accounts with Apple: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/108380
Once you have the child account linked to yours through a family set of accounts you can then also use parental controls to determine what features can be accessed and at what times: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/105121
