Dear OCES families,
As we are entering the last part of our school year, it is important to remind our families and students of
the iPad Care. Please take time to talk to your child about their responsibilities for taking care of their
iPads and the accessories (original charger and cord and the crayon). We have added information to our
website about iPad care, the WCPS User Agreement and the Parent/Student Device Handbook at
ocelementary.com. Please visit our website for your review.
I am so proud to say that for the majority of the year, our students have done such a wonderful job taking
care of their iPads and accessories. However, if a piece of the device and/or accessories is broken or goes
missing, WCPS families are responsible for the replacement cost of missing or damaged items from
student neglect as outlined in the device user agreement. For reference, a price list is included on the back
of this letter for replacing damaged items. This list is also available on our website referenced above.
Remember, these devices and accessories are property of Worcester County Public Schools and need to
last our students 4 years! Families will return all equipment at the end of each school year, and the same
equipment will be reissued to students the following year.
Please join us in stressing the importance of taking care of these devices and accessories. Develop a plan
or rules with your child on how they can take care of their device at home. Students should not be
playing games, exploring the Internet or taking pictures on their school device. The devices are for
school use only. Please call the office with any questions at 410-632-5370.
Thank you for your continued support of Ocean City Elementary School,
Mrs. Julie Smith
Principal
