Unfortunately any iPads activated prior to September 1st, 2013 are ineligible to receive these apps and consequently, it is with much regret that we ask families of these devices, to pay an additional fee of $20 to have these apps installed on your child’s iPad. As the iPad Program has developed, we have recognised that it is essential that all students have access to these core productivity apps. If you go to the App Store yourself, you will notice that the total cost of these apps is well in excess of $40. As a school, we are eligible to purchase these core apps in bulk and as such pass the direct savings onto families. If you are unsure whether or not your child qualifies for these apps for free, sign in to your child’s iPad with their Apple ID, go to the App Store and search for one of the apps from the list above. If it is listed ‘free’ or says ‘Get’ then you may ignore this letter. If however it gives you a cost, then we ask that you please pay this additional fee of $20 rather than pay the full cost yourself. Upon receipt of this payment, the ICT Coordinator will then install the apps manually on your child’s iPad. We apologise for the inconvenience this may pose to some families. If you have any questions regarding this decision or would like further information, please contact us at the school at your earliest convenience. Regards, Katie Atkin ICT Coordinator .
