iPad Care Program for Grades 6-12 iPads:

Students must report any damage or loss of iPad to their homeroom teacher
-
Homeroom teacher will place a technology support ticket for the iPad
-
BPS IT Team will replace the damaged iPad (if deemed accidental)
-
Student/Parent/Guardian will be responsible for a $50 deductible upon every accidental damage incident
-
Parents will be informed via ParentSquare
-
BPS does not offer an optional insurance program for iPads and there is no need to sign up for iPad insurance
-
Full financial responsibility ($400) for any destruction or vandalism of an iPad and keyboard case deemed malicious by the school district as well as loss of the device
-
Families don’t need to do anything right now. The only time you will need to take action is if you receive a ParentSquare notification that your child has a damaged iPad. You will then receive instructions on how to pay for the $50 deductible for accidental iPad damage so that your child will receive a replacement iPad.
-
Families will also be notified if any damage is deemed to be malicious or caused by vandalism
