RSU5 provides all students with devices in grades 6-12. Students will be given their devices during the first weeks of school. Students will be required to bring their device to and from school daily. The teachers will be going over with the students the proper care and use. We also have a parent video and additional information to help support parents at home.
Device Protection Plan:
The Regional School Unit No. 5 MLTI Device Protection Plan is designed to provide students and families coverage in the event that non-warranty damage occurs to the Maine Learning Technology Initiative (MLTI) device.
Although coverage is not mandatory to take the device home, if you opt out of the plan, you will be responsible for the full cost of the device if it is lost, damaged, etc. Scholarships are available to families and students. Please contact the main office at your student’s school for more information about scholarships.
We ask that you take a moment to talk with your student about responsible use and care of the MLTI device. The device will most likely follow your child through their tenure in RSU5, so careful use and routine maintenance are important keys to long system life. Additionally, a parent or guardian must view the RSU5 parent video offered.
The cost of the protection plan is $25 for one child and $20 for each additional child. You can sign up now for the protection plan and pay online or you can send a check into school with your child made payable to RSU 5.
Parents to do:
Read policies IJNDB and IJNDB-R about device and Internet use, and read the DCS guidelines for device use and misuse.
