Year 5 and 6 School Managed iPad Deployment Process
From 2025 all new students in Year 5 and 6 will receive a school owned iPad and keyboard.
Each year the school will purchase new iPads for students in Year 5 and the same student will continue using that iPad for Year 6.
The school will take out AppleCare+ on these iPads for 2 years to cover use whilst the students are using the iPad - any damage parents pay excess.
iPads will be ordered in December for delivery in first week of January - allow 4 spare iPads, 1 for each class for future students
iPads will be added to Apple School Manager (DEP) by retailer, eg JB Hifi
On delivery add iPads to our Inventory database in Filemaker and label each iPad with "SC0####".
Check iPad serial numbers are showing in JAMF Prestage Enrollments. An email from Apple School Manager advising Device Available should have been received.
If serial numbers are not showing, email the retailer to assign the iPads to our Apple School Manager (DEP) before proceeding any further.
Once we have confirmed iPads are in JAMF please assign the serial numbers to the Prestage Enrollments called "School Managed Y5 and 6".
