The transition back to school with devices has been a smooth one; thank you for your partnership and support!  The students are doing a fantastic job taking care of the devices. The routines for taking devices to and from school that families and teachers have put into place are working.  That said, we also know accidents can happen.  As a reminder, families have the option to purchase damage insurance for the devices should something happen and the device require repair.  Please visit this link to learn more and make your decision.  If this is the first time you have visited the district’s online payment portal, you will need to create an account by clicking the LOGIN button at the top and then “Create New Account”.  From there, please choose your child’s school from the SHOP menu at the top, click on TECHNOLOGY and then 1:1 Computing Damage & Replacement.


What should I do if my child’s device is damaged

or not working properly?

Families and students should notify the school right away if a device isn’t working properly or has become damaged.  Please contact your child’s teacher who will work with the school media center staff to issue a loaner device until repairs are complete.  You may also bring the device to the school office, and the building secretary will coordinate with the media center staff to get a loaner device and a repair request submitted.  Thank you!



Our students love to play in the snow during recess. We head outside two times every day, as long as the wind chill is 10 degrees or above. Thank you for sending winter gear to school daily. Please be sure all items are labeled to prevent loss.
