Chromebook Protection Plan
The enrollment period for this year has opened, and will be available until Friday, September 3. Thompson School District has partnered with One2One Risk Solutions to provide optional accident and loss protection for our district chromebooks. Registering with One2One and purchasing a damage waiver will protect you from the full cost of repair or replacement for your district-issued chromebook and limits your responsibility to a per-occurrence deductible (see below).
The protection plan cost is $15 per device and covers the device through the end of the school year against accidental damage, cracked screens, fire, liquid damage, electrical surge and loss/theft (a loss/theft claim requires a police report for coverage). First incident has a zero deductible, second claim on the same device will be a $25 deductible, and the third claim will be a $50 deductible. A loss/theft claim without a police report will require the replacement cost of the device (this varies depending on the make/model of the device). If you want to take advantage of this optional insurance, please visit www.one2onerisk.com and select “Enroll My Device” to get started. Again, this is optional. You are not required to get this insurance. Please note, this offer is only for chromebooks. We have a 3-year warranty on iPad damage if it happens in its case, but no loss protection for iPads.
Opt-in:
Damage Waiver Cost - $15
Accidental Damage Claim #1 - $0
Accidental Damage Claim #2 - $25
Accidental Damage Claim #3 - $50
Opt-out: You are responsible for all costs of damages/losses.
I understand there are certain conditions not covered by this damage waiver which include:
- Any dishonest, fraudulent, malicious or criminal acts
- Any loss to software, data, documents, music, videos, recordings or other personal information that I have placed on the device
- Additional loss caused by the failure to use all reasonable means to protect the device after it has been damaged
- Disappearance of the device not reported to local law enforcement
- Any use not in accordance with District policies and procedures.

The College Funding Coach
Dear Mountain View High School,
I am so excited to announce that Mountain View High School is hosting the College Funding Coach on Tuesday, October 5th 6:00-7:15pm for a web workshop. This event is for any family wanting to learn how to pay for college (Preschool - High School). The College Funding Coach was founded in 2002 to help families better understand the complexities of paying for college and make higher education more affordable. Since that time, The College Funding Coach team has been on a mission to help families save on the high cost of higher education. The College Funding Coach’s founder, Brock Jolly, realized that most families want to help pay for their children’s education; but they often lack the liquidity and/or the cash flow to be able to do so. The College Funding Coach has established an approach that helps parents understand the college funding process, reduce their out-of-pocket expenses, and balance the challenge of saving for college and retirement simultaneously.
This is a free educational web event. Please register by clicking HERE or on the flyer attached to this email.Thanks,
Lori Hewitt
The College Funding Coach | 2580 E. Harmony Rd. Suite 201 Fort Collins, CO 80528
