How can I set controls and restrictions on my student's iPad?
School-issed iPads come with an extensive set of device-based restrictions in place when students receive them. It doesn't matter what network the device is on, these restrictions will remain active. You can see a full list of default restrictions on the iPad by clicking Settings > General > VPN & Device Management > MDM Profile.
The iPad also has Screen Time where you can set additional limits and restrictions for your student. Please note, the iPad's default restrictions (found on the MDM Profile) override what you may see in Screen Time.

How does Web Filtering work?
Spring Lake Park Schools uses an on-device web filter to monitor Internet browsing and protect students from unwanted and malicious websites on our district iPads. Web filters monitor any web browsing on our district iPads both at school and at home. This filtering is provided on a one-to-one basis, so each student has different levels of filtering based on grade level.
