Help!! – iPad Deployment

For the past few years at Deanwell, we have used Meraki to update our iPads. It is about to become too expensive.

At the end of each term we 'wash' each iPad and reinstall apps, add new apps, and possibly delete apps we no longer use.

Do you know of a good programme that will do this? How do you manage the updating of your iPads?

Your ideas would be much appreciated. Please email principal@deanwell.school.nz.

Help!! – Policy re Payments and Donations

A Principal has requested a policy about school donations and payments from parents. Ministry of Education Circular 2013/6 outlines regulations re payments and donations.

Do you have a policy? Please email it to principal@deanwell.school.nz and I will pass it on.
