How to determine if your iPad is in the MDM
Look at the bottom of the lock screen, if in the MDM, you should see "Property of the Calcasieu Parish School Board".
OR go to "Settings" and at the top left column, you should see the following:
What to do if your iPad is not in the MDM
You will need to reset the iPad and set it up as new.
This will delete EVERYTHING on the iPad and will be like it was when you took it out of the box for the first time.
Go to "Settings/General" then scroll down to the bottom of the screen and tap "Reset" then tap "Erase All Content & Settings".
After it is reset, you will just need to go through the setup screens and the iPad will automatically be enrolled in the MDM.
When asked to join wifi, you will select CPSB-SECURE and will need to enter your username and password.
After the setup is complete, check the wifi for "CPSB-MEM" to appear under "Preferred Networks".
Once you see "CPSB-MEM" in the "Preferred Networks" section, you will be able to join it without a username and password
If you select "CPSB-MEM" and it asks for a password, then the iPad is not yet finished registering with the MDM so wait 15 minutes or so and try again.
Once successfully connected to "CPSB-MEM" you can select "CPSB-SECURE" and forget that network.
What if the iPad is asking for an AppleID and Password
If, during the reset, you are asked for an AppleID and password for a user that is unknown, put in a help ticket asking that the "Activation Lock" removed.
Once removed, you'll be able to complete the iPad setup.
