To get enrolled in our new Mobile Device Manager called ChargerMDM, you will need to follow the steps below. The Fifth Grade Teachers are asking students to start fresh and strongly recommend that you set up as a new iPad to simplify the process.
Need to save your photos, try transferring your photos to a cloud storage solution like google photos.
Fresh Start Instructions (not restoring a backup)
