Chromebook

Secondary Student Chromebook Protection

Students in grades six through twelve have been assigned a district Chromebook as a tool to utilize in their education at the North Pocono School District.  As with a textbook, it is the student’s responsibility to care for this device, maintain its components, and ensure its working condition.

The district is offering a yearly protection plan for a fee of $25. This protection covers accidental damage only.  If accidental damage occurs, in order for the repair to be processed, the student must:

  1. Inform the school of the incident within 7 days.
  2. Provide the date of the incident.
  3. Describe the cause of the accidental damages.

PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:

  1. This fee does not cover loss/theft or intentional damage.
  2. Any missing keys from the device is considered to be intentional damage and comes with a repair fee of $149.

To purchase an annual protection plan for your student's Chromebook, you may pay the $25 fee via check/credit card/debit card in the Parent Portal under "Fees" (Note: credit card payments will be assessed a 4.5% processing fee). Payment can also be paid by cash/check (payable to the North Pocono School District) in the middle or high school offices.

If you choose to waive the protection plan, you will be invoiced for any damages or full replacement cost.

ALL PAYMENTS ARE DUE BY SEPTEMBER 30, 2025. There will be NO opportunity to purchase protection after September 30, 2025. (For the 2025-2026 school year only, due to shipping delays for sixth-grade Chromebooks, the district has extended the deadline to October 31, 2025).
