iPad Apps! How do you request them? Please follow the steps below.

 iPads




App Approval Process
  • FIRST check out the PRJUSD Approved/Denied iPad Apps Master List:
    • This list is a great place to see what has already been approved/denied and to see what teachers across the district are using on iPads.
    • If an app you want is not on the list, YOU MUST SUBMIT A SEPARATE WORK ORDER  so that Ed Tech and Curriculum can evaluate those apps and approve or deny them.  Include the school site, grade level, app name, price, and link to the app.
  • In order to better manage iPads and provide quality support Apps must be universal across grade level at your site
*Example: All first grade teachers at Kermit King must all agree upon same apps for their devices.


Process to get free apps for shared devices is as follows:
  • Check to see if App has already been approved/denied on the Master List (if not, submit a work order for apps to be evaluated for approval)
  • Meet with your grade level team to agree upon apps
  • One grade level representative will create a work order (only one person from your team will put in work order)
  • Include the school site, grade level, app name, price, and link to the app
  • If an App has not already been approved, the work ordered will be denied.


Process for getting paid apps is as follows:
  • Sites/departments need to pre-purchase their own VPP credits.  
  • To push apps via the MDM server, VPP credits must be used, iTunes cards won't work.
  • Check to see if App has already been approved/denied on the Master List (if not, submit a work order for apps to be evaluated for approval)
  • Meet with your grade level team to agree upon apps
  • Teachers request iPad apps to site Administrators. Site administrators must put in work orders for paid apps
  • Administrator creates a work order:
    • Include the  school site, grade level, app name, price, and link
    • If an App has not already been approved, the work ordered will be denied.

Purchasing iPads:

  • All iPads must be purchased through IT in PRJUSD.
  • This is the only way that we can ensure that all devices are enrolled with the district and we can service them, push apps to devices as needed, and locate the lost ones.
  • IT & EdTech  will no longer be able to provide support to devices that were not purchased through IT.
