2023-2024 Important Dates
Chromebook Insurance for NEW Devices
Device Insurance registration. This link is ONLY for 6th, 7th, 9th, and 10th-grade students receiving BRAND NEW DEVICES.
https://gpo.worthavegroup.com/gpo/scituateschoolsri/
Families can choose to insure their Chromebooks for 1-3 years, with each year of coverage costing $28. The terms of the coverage are available on the enrollment page, but please note that the charger & case are, to my understanding, not covered as part of this term. The deadline to register is September 17th, 2023. Please note that enrollment is OPTIONAL - if a device without insurance is damaged, we will perform the repair in-house & the family will be billed for any parts necessary to get the device back to working condition.
If you have an 8th, 11th, or 12th-grade family that would like to insure their device, please have them reach out to technology@scituateschoolsri.net & we will figure something out (it goes without saying that insurance will only cover existing devices that are in great condition with no pre-existing damages)
Lost Chromebooks & chargers are not covered by insurance.
Stolen devices/chargers are covered by insurance if a police report has been filed.
Best,
Michael Hattayer
