    • English, United States
    • DVUSDmobile as your wifi network
    • enable location services (if you get a configuration error, restart your iPad!)
    • Next (in top right corner)
  • Log in with your school username and password—what you use to log into school computers
  • Sign into your learner.dvusd.org Apple ID if you are able. If not, skip this step. (click on forgot or don’t have apple id, set up later)

    • New student or freshman? District will assign you an Apple ID. Information about it will be emailed to your learner email account.

    • Have an Apple ID but forgot your password? Reset it at iforgot.apple.com.

    • Been at SDOHS before but never used a district (learner) Apple ID? Let Ms Salameh know. You’ll have to work without it for a while.

Set up a passcode only if you are SURE you will remember it!

Write it down or email it to yourself.

You might want to put a selfie as your lock screen.

That way if your iPad is lost and someone finds it, he or she will be able to tell whose it is.

iPad Email Setup:

DVUSD iPads no longer contain the App Store app. Only apps provided by the DVUSD App Catalog may be installed on school iPads.

Students new to the district will not be able to log into district technology until after one day of attendance.

Expectations:

  • Bring your iPad charged every day.

When removing the charger from your iPad,

be gentle. The cord costs $20 to replace!

  • Leave your charger at home. Don’t risk

losing it or having it stolen. Your battery should last all day.

  • Keep your iPad in the school issued or protective personal case at all times! If you take it out, your insurance is void.

Remember that your iPad is school property.

It is a loan to be used for academic purposes only.

Lost or stolen iPad?

Forgot a password?

  • Apple ID password:
  • Go to iforgot.apple.com to change it.

  • gmail (learner.dvusd) password:
  • This is your school ID number

  • passcode (what you use to open iPad):
  • Your iPad will have to be restored to its original settings.
    • Anything on it you have not saved (to iCloud, Google, app account, etc) will be lost. This is sad so try to keep saving all your hard work!

  • Your iPad is worthless outside of the district. If it is stolen, no one can log in other than a DVUSD student or teacher. That means we will be able to track any stolen property and anyone who tries to sell the iPad will not be able to do so.
