1. Try a different username, it should be either:    

29abc01      OR it could be:      29abc01@stucpsk12.org

1. Close all apps, check that wifi is privatecps, and try again

2. Toggle the wifi off/on – make sure it connects to privatecps

3. Power it off all the way to the Apple, and then power it back on

4. Check the iOS – if an update is available, install it

5. Still not working? Get a pass and bring your iPad to the media center for help.

WIFI AND BLUETOOTH

Why do wifi and Bluetooth need to be left on ALL the time?

• • Having wifi turned on and connected to privatecps is crucial for all learning tasks that are done on iPads.

  • Having wifi turned on is crucial for pinging iPads – we can’t help you locate a missing iPad if wifi is turned off.

  • Having wifi on and cellular data enabled is required 24/7, no matter where you are.

  • Having Bluetooth turned on is required while you are at school.

Uh oh, my iPad is low because I forgot to charge it last night!

• Should I turn off Bluetooth or wifi or use Airplane mode to make the charge last longer?

  • NO!!! That will not make a difference, and there is wifi in every classroom.

  • You can disconnect your Bluetooth earbuds instead of turning Bluetooth off; this might save a bit of charge, but not very much.

• If your iPad is low, get permission to use a classroom charging station.

• Or get a pass to the media center, and they will charge your iPad.

What if I’m going on an airplane and I have to use Airplane mode, which turns off the wifi and cellular data?

• Going on an airplane is the ONLY time that you are allowed to use Airplane mode.

• However, taking your school iPad with you on vacation is not recommended!

• Leave your school iPad at home while traveling and take your electronics with you.

• Apple Classroom must be set to allow teacher to “Always” view your screen
