Purchase Information for Students Joining The ISF Mid-Year
If your child is joining The ISF after the school year has begun you have two options for purchasing an iPad.
- Option 1 - If your child is starting one or more months later from today, we recommend you purchase your child's iPad and accessories (see below for the list of items in the iPad bundle) through Senco-Masslink Ltd. The iPad and accessories will be delivered directly to school. The iPad is pre-configured with the school's settings to work out-of-the-box. Orders take approximately four weeks to be delivered to the school.
