Chromebook Insurance/MySchoolBucks
As we prepare for the 2026-27 school year, we strongly encourage families to consider the optional insurance to help cover accidental damage.
Key Due Dates & Information:
The Chromebook insurance fee is $35 per student, but an early bird rate of $30 is available if paid by August 17, 2026.
The maximum cost per family is $105, regardless of the number of students.
The insurance covers accidental damage but does not cover loss, theft, or intentional damage.
Families who decline insurance will be responsible for the full cost of any repairs or replacement.
Please see the attached document for more information. Payments can be made through MySchoolBucks here. If you haven't set up a MySchoolBucks account, you can find instructions here.
Thank you for your support in helping us protect and maintain these vital learning tools!
