iPad Protection Plan Information

  • Each school year, EPSD9 offers an optional iPad Protection Plan to students and families. This annual Protection Plan is effective from the first day school starts to the day before school starts the following academic year. The cost for the Protection Plan is $25.00. There is a family cap of $100.00. The Protection Plan will provide coverage for repair or replacement on and off school grounds for incidents described below. Without the Protection Plan, students will be responsible for all repair or replacements costs.

    If your student did not have the Protection Plan during the prior school year, their school for the current school year will need to verify the condition of the iPad prior to accepting the Protection Plan fee payment. Before the iPad is covered under the Protection Plan, the device must be inspected to ensure it's: 

    1. Operational: Demonstrate that the device powers on

    2. Free of cracks on the screen: best to see this with the screen illuminated by an external light source with the screen powered off

    3. The case is in fair condition without writing or pen marks and can protect the device (flap/keyboard attached during inspection)

    Note: Cases/covers and case/cover parts (case frame and detachable keyboard (where applicable) that serves as a protective cover) should be accounted for at the inspection.

    The iPad Protection Plan can be purchased for $25.00 online through ParentVue under optional fees or you can go into your child’s school office to sign up. Schools may require an opt-out signature.
