iPad Protection Fee & Repair Payments

iPad Protection Plan

Avoid costly repair fees by purchasing the iPad Protection Plan. The plan covers repairs due to accidental damage throughout the school year. The iPad Protection Plan is an optional, non-refundable protection plan for students.

The protection plan can only be purchased up to October 1 of the current school year. The parent/guardian will not be charged if an iPad gets damaged before then. No payments will be accepted after October 1, and the repair cost will be invoiced to the parent/guardian.

Students enrolling in the school district during the year will have 30 days after their enrollment date to purchase the protection plan.  

About the Plan

  • It is optional and non-refundable.
  • $30 per student. 
  • It covers repairs needed due to accidental damage to the iPad throughout the school year. 
  • It covers common damage such as cracked screens.
  • It covers your child's iPad throughout the entire school year, for that particular year only.
  • It does NOT cover charging cords or charging bricks.
  • It does NOT cover lost iPads or damage caused by liquids. This will result in an invoice for the iPad replacement.
  • It does NOT cover intentional damage/defacement of the keyboard case. This will result in a $119 invoice.
  • It does NOT cover intentional damage to the iPad. This will result in an invoice for the cost of the damage.
