The iPads are here! The iPads are here!

Saturday, March 19th we will be having iPad training at CVE. After training, you may begin checking out iPads from the Media Center for individual teacher exploration.

Monday, March 28th is the date to return the iPads you have been exploring back to the Media Center. Please be prompt and mark this date as we will need time to resync them and get them ready for classroom checkout packages.

Beginning Monday, April 11, teachers may check out a class set of 8 iPads from the Media Center. More information about this will be forthcoming.
