CAIHS Monday Morning Message

Last week 55 amazing students and staff from Coatesville High School went on the LINK leadership training. Students and staff alike are asked to detach from devices and step out of their comfort zone. Over the course of the trip, all participants go through various team-building activities that are both physical and discussion-based. The senior leaders led each grouping with great poise, empathy, and respect. The program helps all participants find a common bond and gives exposure to the great individuals we have in the Coatesville community.

Dear CASD Parents and Guardians,

I hope this letter finds you well. As we continue to embrace technology as an integral part of our educational environment, we want to ensure that your child’s school-issued device is well-protected. To this end, in lieu of our previous TIF, we are offering optional insurance coverage for these devices to help mitigate any potential costs associated with accidental damage, loss, or theft, outside of any warranty covered repairs.

Why Device Insurance?

School-issued devices are an important tool for learning, and while we strive to take great care of them, accidents can happen. Device insurance provides peace of mind and financial protection by covering repair or replacement costs due to unforeseen circumstances.

What computer insurance covers

A stand-alone computer insurance policy through Progressive includes coverage for perils (laptop theft, vandalism, fire damage, and more) and unexpected accidents such as:

• Water damage (including liquid spills and submersion)
  
• Damage from dropping or stepping on your laptop
  
• Power surges due to lightning

What laptop insurance doesn't cover

Laptop insurance doesn't cover everything. Some exclusions are:

• Computer viruses
  
• Wear and tear or corrosion
  
• Software issues
  
• Blatant neglect
  

All policies and claims are the sole ownership of the Parents and Guardians.

Complete details and common questions can be found at the following link: https://www.progressive.com/electronic-device-insurance/computer-laptop-insurance/

Sincerely,

CASD Office of Technology
