Student Device Insurance

The Tech Department is excited to provide the best technology to our students each school year. With the growing costs of technology and technology repairs, YCS highly encourages families to purchase the Device Protection Plan during Registration this school year. The Yorktown Community Schools Student Device Insurance Repair Plan helps defer costs for damaged screens, keyboards, case, cables, etc. The Insurance Repair Plan costs $45 per student per school year. This is an optional purchase at the end of Registration.

In previous years, you were able to check a box indicating that you would like to purchase the Student Device Repair Plan. This box has been eliminated from registration. Payment must be received BEFORE your child’s device will be covered. No grace will be given this school year.

Payment can be accepted in the following ways:

- Cash or check that is sent to the office of your child

- An optional fee payment through eFunds.

Below is the Student Device Insurance Repair Plan and directions on how to add an optional fee in eFunds.
