Every Miller Connected Program
Noblesville Schools is now offering a limited number of LTE iPad devices to students who have limited or no internet access at home.
Every Miller Connected is a program sponsored by Noblesville Schools. It gives students with the greatest need the opportunity to borrow a LTE iPad for use during the school year.
LTE iPads allow free access to the internet. The monthly service fees are fully paid by the district. The program is intended to help district students access online resources at home.
To ensure peace of mind for parents, these devices use internet content filtering and browsing history is recorded.
For students to participate in this program, parents must complete this form. Families unable to complete the online form may call the technology help desk at (317) 773-2130 for assistance. By signing this form, the parent agrees to assume all responsibility for equipment checked out to the student. A replacement fee of $559 will be charged if the device is lost, damaged or not returned. The existing district Technology Protection Plan can cover the cost of any damaged LTE iPad devices, but damage(s) due to intentional reckless, willful, wanton and/or malicious conduct is not covered.
Steps for Obtaining a LTE iPad
- Complete the online application.
- Applications will be approved by the district administrative staff. Approval will be given to those students who meet financial eligibility guidelines.
- Approved applicants will be notified when they may pick up the LTE iPad at the Educational Services Center located at 18025 River Rd. Noblesville, IN 46062.
- All devices must be returned before the end of the school year.
Who is eligible to participate
This program is open to Noblesville Schools students who are fully enrolled in one of the 10 district schools.
