iPad Insurance Information

  • For the each school year, EPSD9 offers optional iPad insurance to students and families. This annual insurance is effective from the first day school starts to the day before school starts the following academic year. The cost for the insurance is $25.00. There is a family cap of $100.00. Insurance will provide coverage for repair or replacement on and off school grounds for incidents described below. Without insurance, students will be responsible for all repair or replacements costs.

    If your student did not have insurance during the prior school year, their school for the current school year will need to verify the condition of the iPad prior to accepting insurance payment. Before the iPad is insured, the device must be inspected to ensure it's: 

    1. Operational: Demonstrate that the device powers on

    2. Free of cracks on the screen: best to see this with the screen lit up

    3. The case is in fair condition and can protect the device (flap attached or keyboard present during inspection)

    Note: Students with keyboards: Both parts (case frame and detachable keyboard that serves as a protective cover) should be accounted for at the inspection.
