To assist families with the cost of repairs to student Chromebooks, we are happy to announce an optional yearly insurance program.
Payment can be sent to your student's school with a copy of this form and cash or check for $20.00 per student, not to exceed $40.00 per family.
If you prefer to pay online, you can do so at https://www.ezschoolpay.com/Login.aspx. EZ SchoolPay is the district's online portal for collecting lunch and other school-related fees.
HDSD WILL cover the cost of repair or replacement for the following reasons if a protection premium has been purchased. (Under this agreement):
o Accidental physical damage up to 3 occurrences per year (ex., Walking down the hall and a student accidentally drops it, another student knocking a student’s Chromebook off the desk).
o Accidental power surge (ex., Chromebook is not plugged in correctly to the outlet and gets zapped, lightning or power jumps up and down).
o Theft with a completed police report submitted to the IT department
Repairs HDSD WILL NOT cover (the parent/guardian will pay for the repair and/or replacement of the device, whichever is less):
● Theft, burglary, or robbery of the Chromebook

● Illegal use or fraud of the Chromebook
● Dishonest acts, including selling Chromebook
● Cosmetic damage to the physical appearance that does not hinder the normal operation
● Insect or animal damage
● Any other use the school district deems inappropriate. The principal, technology coordinator, and/or superintendent makes the final decision if there is a discrepancy on if the incident causing the needed repair was because of inappropriate actions.
Dear School Family,
Welcome back to a new school year! Back-to-school time comes with a whole checklist of things you need to take care of to get the year started off right. There’s one thing we can check off that list for you! This fall we will host a school-based flu clinic for all students, at no cost to your family. Our clinic is being offered in cooperation with the New Hampshire Immunization Program (Division of Public Health Services) and your local Public Health Network. The clinic will take place during the school day and trained medical staff will give the vaccine.
Why sign your child up for this year’s flu clinic?
Your child will be less likely to get the flu and miss school time.
You won’t have to miss work when your child is sick with the flu.
CONVENIENT! You won’t have to make a trip to your medical provider.
The best way to protect against the flu and its complications is to get a flu vaccine each year. Anyone can catch the flu, but rates of infection are often highest among children. Some children may suffer from complications of the flu if they have other health conditions like asthma, diabetes, or heart disease. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services recommend that everyone six months of age and older get a flu vaccine.
A paper copy of the consent form is available. Completed consent forms are to be returned to the school nurse or main office.
Your child’s vaccination information is confidential and protected by state and federal law. Vaccination information is safely stored in New Hampshire’s Immunization Information System (NHIIS), which brings together information from different health care providers into a single permanent record. Your child’s immunization record is available to you at any time. Additional information is available at https://www.dhhs.nh.gov/programs-services/disease-prevention/immunizations/nh-immunization-information-system
You have the right to opt out of IIS by checking to opt out box on the consent form. However, if you opt out, you will need to share your child’s immunization records with their medical provider and the school health office to keep their vaccine information up to date.
The CDC Influenza Vaccine Information Statements (VIS), is available at the following link to help answer your questions: https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/hcp/vis/vis-statements/flu.pdf. You may also reach out to your child’s health care provider or school nurse.
