As the first 10 weeks of school come to an end, we feel it is important to offer availability to laptop insurance for a limited time. We have found that accidents occur and the cost of replacement can often be a hardship.
We have reopened the opportunity to purchase laptop insurance for your student through November 30. We strongly encourage you to purchase the insurance as the majority of accidental repairs are cracked screens, which can cost up to $120 if the device is touchscreen.
Lenovo 11E Models are assigned to Grades 6-12, and the insurance cost is $64
The insurance covers the following:
- accidental drops/spills
- cracked screen
- liquid submersion
- fire/flood/natural disasters
- power surge by lightning
- theft/vandalism
Purchase laptop insurance for your student here: https://gpo.worthavegroup.com/gpo/taconichills/
If you do not purchase insurance, the following prices apply to replace equipment:
- Power Adapter $25
- Battery $130
- Touch Screen $120
- Non-touch Screen $50
- Keyboard $70
- Laptop $600
If insurance is purchased, our technology department is able to begin repairing your student’s laptop right away If insurance is not purchased, payment for damages must be remitted before repairs can begin. This means that if the student is unable to use their device, they may lose valuable learning time. We believe that investing in laptop insurance is a proactive step in ensuring your student’s academic success.
If you have any questions regarding laptop insurance, please contact John Dodds, Coordinator of Computer Technology, at JDodds@taconichills.k12.ny.us or (518) 325-2877.
