  • Apple ID

    1. Create an Apple ID using the Family Sharing for the MacBook. Click here for Apple ID support, including FAQs.
    2. Please plan on monitoring your student’s account. We recommend to assign a unique email address for the Apple ID; doing so allows your student to purchase and download required textbooks and apps. Do not use your child’s Pegasus Google account email.
    3. To restrict full accessibility to the App store, a passcode may be to set for App store purchases. Click here for more information about setting up restrictions.

  • Email

    1. At least one of the email accounts on the MacBook must be your student’s Pegasus Google account. Your child’s email address is the first three letters of the first and last name followed by @thepegasusschool.org. For example, a student named John Smith would be johsmi@thepegasusschool.org.
    2. The Google Drive app must also be linked to your student’s Pegasus Google account.
