The ordered iPad will be delivered to the school the 3rd week of August. The school’s technical engineers will configure the iPad upon receipt with all the necessary software and files.

The iPad will then be given to all students in their classes.

Parents who wish to provide the iPad of their choice (min. 7th generation, Storage 64GB) to the IT department of the school must make an appointment from Friday August 18, 2023. The configuration will take place between August 18 and August 31 2023.

 

The ICS company has been working with the LFI for several years on connected classes and today offers a package including a 10th generation 64GB iPad at 1750 aed (Apple retail price: 1849 aed), a shell (180 aed) and ICScare insurance for three years (395 aed). In total, the cost is therefore 2325 aed.

The ICScare insurance covers the immediate replacement of the iPad in the event of failure or breakage (be careful, in the event of breakage, each repair will cost up to 300 aed) with restoration of the student’s data – this includes in particular the software Apple System Manager essential for using the iPad in class.

Parents of CM1, CM2 and 6eme, 5eme have the option of buying directly or using their own iPad provided it is 8th generation and subscribing to « Care For Personal Device iPad Configuration » for 395 aed for 2 years.

However, pay attention to the following points:

  • large surface iPads can have an attractive entry price: however, you have to add VAT, the cover and ICScare for Configuration.
  • ICScare is a customization of AppleCare. The big difference is in replacement (not immediate with AppleCare, immediate with ICScare), in the cost of repairs in the event of breakage (2 possible replacements during the term of the insurance for 10% of the price of the iPad with AppleCare; no replacement limit but cost up to 300 aed with ICScare), data restoration (none with AppleCare; provided with ICScare).

In summary, parents have the choice between:

  • order before Wednesday, July 30, 2023 an iPad configured with ICS, with the insurance of 2325aed for 2 years.
  • provide the iPad of their choice (min. 7th generation, Storage 64GB) to the school’s IT department from friday August 18, 2023. Setup will take place between August 18 and 31. You will need to make an appointment in advance:  https://tinyurl.com/iPadconfiguration

iPad buying guide

The FIS offers the possibility of purchasing the Ipad directly from the establishment. It is not an obligation. However, if you obtain the iPad on your own, the configuration (personal device service) must be carried out by the school’s technical department.
You will find all the details in the following document: Device configuration
 
 The implementation of this procedure makes it possible on the one hand to reduce the difficulties of configuring the device and installing software and on the other hand to significantly increase the cybersecurity linked to the use of the iPad. 
 
The iPad will be delivered directly to your child at school, already configured and equipped with all the necessary protection software.
