How to use Self Service to get apps
Self Service is a catalog of apps available to you for installation on your student iPad.

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.
