How To Restrict the Messages App on Student iPads?

Messages is already turned off on middle school iPads. Parents of high school students can turn it off too. Here's how:

1. Go to https://go.vcschools.org/appletree
2. Enter the parent email address we have on file and click "Send Login Link". You will then receive an email with a link for Appletree.

3. Once in Appletree, search for Messages and click Install App on Restrict Messages. It may take several minutes for the restriction to be applied but once it does, the Message app will disappear from the student's iPad.
