Virtual Love and Logic Parenting Workshop
Chromebook Insurance
Students have now been issued a chromebook that will be used at school as well as taken home each day to work on homework. We encourage students to carry their chromebook in their backpack or a protective case to keep it from getting damaged. The cost to replace a damaged or stolen chromebook is $300 and will be charged to the student unless an optional $30 Protection Plan is purchased at the beginning of the school year. WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND PURCHASING THIS PROTECTION PLAN ALSO KNOWN AS CHROMEBOOK INSURANCE IN CASE OF LOSS OR DAMAGE
The Protection Plan may be paid online through myschoolfees.com under "optional fee." It may also be paid by calling the finance office, coming into the school or sending payment with your student.
Even if you have already opted to participate in the Nebo Chromebook Protection Plan when filling out the Chromebook Usage Agreement you still need to pay the $30 fee in order for the Plan to be in effect. Please see Mrs. Fay in the finance office.
