A technology device (computer or tablet) may be issued to your student to use both at school and at home to enrich modern education and instruction. As with any material provided for student use, parents/guardians are responsible for ensuring proper care of the resource.  If damage does occur, SMCISD will implement device repair fines to cover the costs of the repair as outlined in the Technology Device Care & Responsibility guideline.

To avoid unexpected repair expenses, SMCISD is pleased to offer an extremely low cost Accidental Damage Protection Plan to cover the repair charges.  For only $25 per student per year, you will be protected from device repair fines for technology devices that are checked out to your child.

• One $25 purchase covers one student for one school year from purchase date through the last day of summer instruction 2024.
• Protection plans must be purchased FROM EACH CAMPUS your children attend.

What is Covered

• 1:1 computers checked out to the covered student after the plan is purchased. Also covers replacement devices, loaners, and damaged chargers.

Protection
