Chromebook Accident Insurance
Life happens! So do cracked screens, lost chargers, and random "uh-ohs"!
All Wilson students have the opportunity to receive a district issued Chromebook. Students keep the same device throughout the student's enrollment in Northwest ISD or until issued a replacement device. The student does not pay an annual use fee, however, the student is responsible for any fees associated with a lost or damaged device.
In order to offset this cost, students have the option to purchase an annual maintenance plan each year for $25. Click here. Students on the free and reduced lunch program will have the maintenance plan fee reduced to $10 automatically at checkout. If you feel you should receive this discount, but the price is not automatically adjusted please contact your campus administrator.
Usually, this plan must be purchased within 30 days the first day of school. This year, due to COVID, NISD is extending to 60 days from enrollment. That timeline is quickly approaching. The plan covers the device from the first day of the current school year until the first day of the next school year and starts immediately upon purchase. The optional yearly maintenance plan pays one-half the cost of a covered repair.
To purchase this plan parents/guardians will log into NISD's online payment portal.
