St John's Student Device Agreement

This year St John's has switched on Screen Time. A system built app running natively on your child's iPad. This gives us a detailed report about how the device is used, apps opened and websites visited, any time that you want to see it. Just go to Settings > Screen Time and tap See All Activity under the graph. From there, you can see your child's usage. 

​

Downtime will be switched ON for all devices being sent home.
