Requesting Apps on iPads

We are required to have a form on file for all apps we add to the App Catalog. The form will be available across county schools and is a way to track how apps are being used for instruction. Complete this form* for all apps you want to use with students. All apps must meet FERPA and COPPA laws. If an app requires a user to be over 13, we can’t use it on the iPads as this is a sign the app does not abide by all FERPA and COPPA laws.

Please also send an email to 2847@apsva.us and copy Teri when you have submitted the form. This will alert me that you are requesting an app. I need to know if this is for personalized iPads (6th & 7th grade) or HBW iPads. Once FERPA and COPPA requirements have been checked it only takes a few days to deploy to MDM (personalized iPads.) Adding apps to HBW iPads is much more difficult and it is best to request apps before I have updated them for the year. *sign in to APS Google required
