Student iPad Policies and Restrictions

CCPS places restrictions on student iPads for the purpose of keeping students safe on the internet and on-task in the classroom. This document contains a list of policies and restrictions in place on student iPads supplied by CCPS. 

Policies

Policy	Reason for the Restriction
Students can't access the App Store or install any apps that are not approved	Prevents students from installing unwanted apps, such as games, social media, chat apps, VPNs, etc.
Students can't access iTunes, Music, Podcasts, Game Center or any other entertainment apps	Prevents distractions
Students can't access the Passwords app or use autofill for passwords	Student iPads are treated as shared devices since no login or passcode is required to use them. The Passwords app is a security risk in our environment since it exposes credentials used to connect to Wi-Fi.

iCloud and the Find My app are disabled	Prevents an activation lock on the device which could render the device unusable.

Students can't add VPN connections or change proxy settings	Prevents bypassing the web filter
AirDrop is disabled	Prevents students from sharing pictures and files
