TIP #3:
If you go ahead and start regularly charging your school iPad and run any needed updates, it will make the first few days of school much easier!

The focus of the KCS iPad program is to provide tools and resources to our 21st-century learners. Student iPads are as essential as textbooks and will be used as such. All students enrolled in the Kanawha County School district qualify to use a district-owned electronic device. If a student has not been issued an iPad, they should alert the school on the first day and will receive a device as quickly as possible.
