Grand Island is a 1:1 device district, which means that every student is assigned a Chromebook at the beginning of the year. To ensure your family is covered the district offers Chromebook insurance.

Accidental Damage Insurance for Student Devices

As part of the 1:1 Initiative, GICSD offers optional accidental damage insurance for student devices at $15 per year. It covers accidental damage (e.g., a cracked screen), but does not cover lost, stolen, or intentionally damaged devices.

Deductibles per claim (per year):
• 1st claim: $20; 2nd claim: $40; 3rdclaim: $60, etc.

Without insurance, families are responsible for repair or replacement costs:
• Screen repair: ~$100; Lost/damaged Chromebook: $300; Case: $25; Charger: $75

We hope you are planning to take the Kaegebein Summer Reading Challenge. There are so many ways to have fun reading! To participate, you need to complete six or more of the reading activities on the attached summer reading form. Each child at Kaegebein went home with a paper copy as well. We hope you read great books over the summer and take the challenge!
