Dear HKMS Families,
        
Today is the last day to sign up for our Optional Chromebook Insurance Program for Families.  This insurance program is designed to protect students and families if a student's Chromebook is damaged or malfunctions through no fault of the student.  Students in all grades will use Chromebooks this year in different capacities; therefore, all students face a risk of damage. 

Please note: Students and parents may be charged for any intentional device damage, which is not covered by the policy.  

If a family does not enroll in the program and pay the annual premium by the end of business TODAY (4:00p.m. September 30, 2026), the family will be responsible for the full cost of repair, including labor or full replacement cost of the Chromebook or charger resulting from any damage or loss.

Families experiencing economic hardship may request a fee waiver by contacting the school administrator.

The policy covers the student’s ER9-issued Chromebook against accidental damage to the Chromebook or theft of the device subject to the following: 

  • First Incident of repair/replacement:  100% of cost covered
  • Second Incident of repair/replacement:  50% of cost covered
  • Third  Incident of repair/replacement:  25% of cost covered
Cost:
The cost for the 2026-2027 school year is $45.00. In the event that a student withdraws or enters the district at any time during the school year, the amount will not be prorated and is not refundable.  

Effective Dates:
Coverage is effective from the date of purchase until the Chromebook is collected at the end of the school year. Coverage must be renewed annually.
