School iPads – If you would like your child to be able to bring their school issued iPad back and forth from home, you must contact Ms. Blanchet at swblanchet@schools.nyc.gov and set up a time to fill out a DOE device loan agreement.  Please note that this is different than the school loan agreement. Families will be responsible for any damage to the iPad and/or keyboard covers.
