Aloha,

Here are the documents you may reference in regards to the iCart Orientation. Again, teachers will need to be trained by an ITRT or his/her iCart Manager so that everyone is on the same page as far as protocols and usage guidelines. Please let Melia Tauvela know if you have any questions.

Mahalo,

Melia
