IPad Information and Resources
We are excited to share that all of our students will continue to have the opportunity to extend their learning through the use of iPad mobile devices. This opportunity includes all 6-8 Oltman Middle School students. iPads will be issued to our students during the second week of school. A Student & Parent iPad Loan Agreement must be completed, including a $30 payment. Payment and the loan agreement can be found on http://sowashco.feepay.com.
If you would like to purchase the insurance and online payment is not an option, we will be accepting payment and signed Student & Parent iPad Loan Agreements.
