Details about turning in your iPad, including dates.
NOTE: Your iPad MUST be powered on to turn it in. If it is dead we will NOT accept it.
You will have to go charge it and turn it in later.

IPAD UNAVAILABLE – so I don’t have to do my homework, right?
- “My iPad isn’t working”
- “Mr. Rule has my iPad so I don’t have to do my homework”
- “I tried to send my homework and it didn’t work so I don’t have to do anything about it.”
- “My internet wasn’t working so I don’t have to turn in my homework.”
- “I can’t get Google Drive to submit a file into Moodle so I don’t have to do my homework.”
- “I tried to email the file but it wouldn’t go so I’ll just forget about it. It’s not my problem.”
It is up to YOU, the student,
to make sure things get done,
IN SPITE OF TECHNICAL GLITCHES.
When something goes wrong, there is ALWAYS a different path you can take to get your homework in. Check with your teacher if in doubt – some teachers prefer some methods over others. AT THE VERY LEAST prove you tried to submit it:
- take a screenshot,
- show your teacher your Outbox that has the emails you attempted to send,
- send an email WITHOUT the attachment to let them know you are trying,
- Login to Drive on an ARC computer [Drive.Google.com] and email or submit the file from there. Remember that your Notability documents are being AUTOMATICALLY backed up to Drive. [If you have gotten your iPad updated they may be in iCloud as well!]
- ASK FOR HELP.
There are even MORE options for getting your work turned in. Talk to your teacher or Mrs. Andrews or Mr. Rule.
Options abound.
Acceptable excuses are rare.
……..and if you think that’s HARSH, just wait until you get to college. Ask Mr. Rule – he taught college for longer than you’ve been alive.
By the way, teachers can check the “iPad Hospital List” just like you can to see if your iPad is indeed being worked on.
iPad not working? Can’t get on the Web?
If your iPad
- can’t get on the web
- can’t access your eText
- can’t fetch email
….or do anything else that required network access to the outside world, most likely your subscription to the MDS network has expired. This happens every 30 days – it’s a network security thing.
Here’s what to do:
- Try to access a website that is OFF-campus [moodle is on-campus, so it won’t help] AND that you haven’t visited before. Maybe this one?
OR - Go to Settings–>Wi-Fi–>MDS-student and click FORGET THIS NETWORK. Go back to the list of networks and select it again.
OR - Swipe out of all your running apps. REboot the iPad by holding down the Power button until the “Swipe here to turn off your iPad” slider comes up. Swipe it. Once it is done shutting down – it takes about 60 seconds – turn it back on.
What you are trying to do with all of this is to get the “Welcome to the MDS Network” screen to come up. Once it does, you login with your MDS number and your Moodle password.
