How to use Self Service to get apps

Self Service is a catalog of apps available to you for installation on your student iPad. Tap the Self Service icon on your iPad to install an app that your teacher would like you to use or an app that you want to use. This is our school district's list of approved apps for student iPad devices. Students do not have access to Apple's App Store on their district iPad. Students do not have access to social media apps like Facebook, Instagram, or SnapChat on their district iPad. If you are having a problem with your student iPad, please contact your Campus Technician or your Instructional Media Specialist.
