As technology evolves, the district’s iTech team continues to monitor appropriate filters to ensure our protections exceed the federal requirements.

Pay for damaged devices/lost chargers
If an NPS assigned MacBook is physically damaged, lost/stolen, or has been hacked, district policy requires that parents pay part of repair costs. Please review our current MacBook Protection Plan as well as repair costs by clicking this link. If your family would like to purchase the protection plan (cost: $50/$25 for F/R lunch) please click on this link to enroll in the protection plan. You will either sign in or create an account, then click "Optional Device Protection Plan."
If your family does not want to purchase the protection plan they will be responsible for a share of the repair costs as outlined in the link above. Per district policy, if you have the device protection plan the replacement device will be a Macbook. If you do not have the device protection plan the replacement device will be a google chromebook until repair costs are paid.
If your student loses their charger, they can purchase a new one at the NNHS tech desk for $20 (USB-C chargers and Macbook Chargers). If the charger is damaged, they can bring the damaged charger to the tech desk for a replacement at no cost.
