Lost/Stolen iPad

Signing the student iPad agreement and taking possession of an iPad, makes the student and parent fully responsible if the device is lost or stolen.

If the device is stolen, contact local law enforcement to submit a police report. SMSD Technology will work with the authorities to retrieve the stolen iPad if possible. Payment to replace the device will still be enforced if the device is not retrieved successfully.

If the device is lost, a payment must be made to replace the device and accessories.

Payments can be made through the district's revtrak site.
