It should be rather straight forward for your IT dept. to arrange to block the Kindles. It could be done by denying access at the WiFi access point(s) to the Kindles by MAC number.

Probably the students will not be able to access the school's wireless (by design).
We have found that our students are able to use school neighbors' wifi to download all kinds of things that are unsuited to school time, school equipment, and school life in general. They also tend to use wifi to text each other in class (bad for testing and also bad for focusing on instruction). Really, trust me, there are not a lot of honorable uses of wifi for students in schools. Parents get mobile phones, etc., with the idea that it helps them stay in contact with their children in an emergency, but I have seen that happen about twice, in my career.
I would like to add that I am learning a great deal on these forums, and quite grateful for all the help!
