An Important Note about Your Scholar's iPad
Your device is covered by AppleCare. If it is damaged, please bring it to DLA immediately. The first two repairs in a year are free. The deductible for each subsequent repair through Apple is $49. Do not take your device to an outside vendor for repairs. This will void your AppleCare plan, incur costly fees, and we will no longer be able to send it to Apple for repairs. AppleCare does not cover loss or theft.

If you do not have a reliable Verizon connection at home, a limited supply of T-Mobile hotspots are available. Please see Ms. Tardio in the Commons for assistance.
