District 129 is committed to student-centered learning that fosters academic success for all students by providing an environment of equity and opportunity. In 2015, District 129 began piloting the use of Chromebooks and iPads throughout the district. The results of this initiative have been positive, and we are now ready to implement a three-year deployment of devices throughout the district providing equal access to technology devices for all District 129 students. Students who are issued a device will take it home as an extension of their daily studies and to complete homework. Students will have access to their personalized Schoology account, as well as various online resources from their teachers, all accessible through their Chromebook or iPad.
Every student can elect to participate in the Technology Protection Plan. The purpose of the Technology Protection Plan is to protect families against potentially high repair costs for damaged devices. The cost of enrollment in the Technology Protection Plan is $25 and is in effect for one year ($25 per student, with a maximum of $75 per family). Families can re-enroll in the plan each year. This $25 covers the first incident of damage to the student’s device. Any additional incidents of damage will follow the tiered scale below:
The Technology Protection Plan is not subject to fee waiver, as it is optional to participate. Parents may enroll in the Technology Protection Plan by visiting www.one2onerisk.com Families wishing to pay with cash may obtain a prepaid card for this program by visiting the main office at their student’s school. This prepaid card can then be used to complete payment on the One2One Risk website.
