This is the week for the safe return of our school-owned devices and accessories. We are very fortunate to have a device for each and every student. Help us keep it that way! We need your support to be sure everything comes back -- functional, clean, and ready for next year.​
Please follow these cleaning directions:
  • iPad/Chromebook:
    • Power down completely.
    • Remove iPads from the case carefully.
    • Remove and discard any screen protector you may have added.
    • Gently use ONLY these cleaning supplies:
      • A dry cotton or microfiber cloth.
      • A cotton cloth or paper towel LIGHTLY misted with WATER ONLY.
      • A damp baby wipe (NOT a Clorox or disinfectant wipe)
    • Put the iPad back in the case after everything is completely dry.    
  • Cords/chargers/keyboards/clear plastic iPad cases
    • Use a damp cloth, baby wipe, or cleaning wipe.
  • White iPad stands
    • Use household cleaners and remove any ink, stickers, dirt, etc.

Students return all items to the classroom teacher on their last day of in-person attendance. Remote students return items between June 21-23.
Please be sure you have:
  • Completed the Equipment Verification Form for each child’s device and accessories.
  • Replaced or repaired items if needed. (info is available below)
  • Cleaned everything! All items must be clean and ready to be used next year. 

Need to return your tech early?
  • Email Mr. Roe jgroe @ cps.edu if you need to return equipment before June 21.

Pod A: Unable to connect to Google Classroom/Meet with a home device on Tuesday? 

All items must be returned clean, undamaged, and in working condition.

Please take a moment now to ensure each item is present and in good condition, as required in the CPS Mobile Device agreement. 
What if a checklist item is lost or damaged?
If an accessory is lost or damaged, click the link above to purchase a replacement. If an iPad or Chromebook is broken, take it for repair. We recommend E Repair for reasonable rates and fast service (1719 W. North Avenue, 773-698-7176), but you are welcome to use the repair shop of your choice.
Notes/Exceptions:
  • * Pod A students should plan to use a home device Tuesday, June 22 for remote access to class. They will only need Google Classroom and Google Meet to participate on Tuesday. If this is not possible, complete this Pod A Wednesday Return form. Check the email from Ms. Skibba dated 6/2 for more detail.
  • 8th graders will bring all items to school and return them to the teacher on Tuesday, June 15.
  • If your Pod A, Pod B, or 4 day child will not be present on June 21-22, email Justus Roe at [email protected] to arrange for early return of equipment. Families must not leave for the summer without returning school-owned technology.

Tech Travel & Transitions

  • Student iPads and Chromebooks must come to school, fully charged, on all in-person attendance days.
  • Headphones must come to school each day.
  • Devices and headphones will return home every night. 
  • Students will carry devices in the Burley-assigned neoprene case (to be sent home on their first in-person attendance day). Those cases are not to be used for any other purpose and must not hold anything except the iPad or Chromebook. (No earbuds, cords, pencils, paperclips, supplies, etc. All can cause damage.)
  • Do not send chargers or cables. Devices will charge in the classroom cart at lunchtime. Your child’s teacher will inform you of any changes or exceptions.
  • Do send the white iPad stands. Those will be used in class and can also provide a rigid protector for the iPad within the backpack.
  • DO plan for safe and careful habits! 
    • Overnight charging - make this part of the family routine.
    • Safe pack-up in the morning - designate a safe spot in the backpack, avoiding pressure points or debris.
    • Prompt and safe unpacking after school - this will help avoid accidental breakage.
    • Use the white iPad stand to add a layer of protection within the backpack.
    • Until you have the neoprene case, consider a gallon ziplock, pillowcase, or other protective layer.
  • Do not log in to the App Store or iCloud. Personal logins interfere with apps and updates from school. 
  • Delete any apps that were installed using a personal account in the app store.
  • Use Self Service to install missing apps.
  • Do not change any settings unless directed by Burley staff.
  • Delete unnecessary images, videos, or other projects. 
  • Log out of any personal or parental accounts for all apps, mail, etc. The device may only be used with a student’s CPS account.
  • Restart the iPad correctly at least once per week. Hold down the power button on top until you see “Slide to Power off” on the screen. Slide that button and allow the iPad to shut down completely. 
  • Charge the iPad in a safe location every night. Leave the iPad ON overnight to receive updates and apps.

Google Meet, by way of Classroom

Students always join their Google Meets from a link in Google Classroom. If you see the camera icon at the top of the Classroom screen, use that. If the icon does not appear, look for the link the teacher posted in the Google Classroom Stream. Other small group links may be added in the "Classwork" tab. Please note: Links only work once the teacher is present!

Self Service

Missing an app? Try Self Service!

If an iPad app is missing, look for this four-color icon. The Jamf Self Service app lets you download school-purchsed and assigned apps. Don't go to the App Store! An app store or iTunes login will interfere with our ability to send apps to your child.

Seesaw Family App for grades K-4

The Family App allows you to access work in your child's Seesaw journal. Personalized links have been emailed to the addresses we have in the CPS Aspen system.

To learn how to access your child's account, visit this page on the Seesaw Help Center.
