Insurance - this page muted
Families are asked to pay an annual $25 insurance fee which covers accidental damage. Student Chromebooks are refreshed every three years, and during a three year cycle, the same Chromebook is assigned to a student.
For the 2018/2019 school year, this only applies to students entering grades 8-12 and students new to the district in grades 5-12. Students entering grades 6 and 7 will upgrade at the end of their original three-year cycle in two and one years respectively.
For the 2018/2019 refresh cycle we are using the Lenovo 500e. which has a touch screen, converts to a tablet, and has an integrated stylus for handwriting and annotation.
The Chromebook will come with a case and screen protector which must always stay on. Insurance will not cover spills, intentional damage, or loss/theft.
The minimum cost of repair for a device without insurance is $120.

A small convenience fee is charged by SchoolCafe. If you would prefer to pay by check, please mail a check for $25 made out to the School District of Upper Dublin, and in the note section mark Technology Fee, your student's name, and their student ID number. Checks can be mailed to Mora Ruiz, Technology Department, 1580 Fort Washington Ave, Maple Glen, PA, 19002
Chromebooks will be distributed mid-August and at the start of the school year.
Students who paid the technology fee for the first three years of our program may trade in their old chromebook when picking up their new device and the technology fee for the 2018/2019 school year will be waived.
If you qualify for the free and reduced lunch program and would like a reduction in the insurance fee, please email mruiz@udsd.org.
