Optional Chromebook Insurance
As part of our learning program, the Mead School District provides Chromebook access to all students. This device is the property of the Mead School District, and families have the opportunity to enroll in the district’s optional Chromebook Insurance Program (CIP). For Grades K-5 (excludes Mead Learning Options), please note that Chromebook Insurance is NOT being offered for K-5 students, as these students’ Chromebooks will be managed like other K-5 classroom materials.
While not mandatory, this insurance program is highly recommended as it provides coverage in the event the device is lost or damaged. With the insurance, the first incident is covered in full. After the first incident, the family is responsible for full replacement of the damaged device, part or power cord. Associated fees listed in the flyer linked below.

Annual cost is $20 per student for the school year. (Requests for free/reduced lunch options available at your child’s school.) Fees must be paid prior to September 20, 2024. To purchase Chromebook Insurance, follow the directions below.
Opting out of the program means families of students in Grades 6-12 (K-12 for Mead Learning Options) will be held financially responsible for the full cost of repair or replacement associated with any damaged, lost or stolen equipment. A fine will be placed on student accounts for the cost of replacing or repairing the equipment.
Lack of action prior to September 20, 2024, will be considered an opt-out.
