Flyer

The $20 Technology Insurance Fee can be paid online in Parent Portal. After September 30, 2020, the fee will disappear, and you will no longer be able to purchase insurance for your device. 

Late enrollees have 30 days to pay from the date that they enroll. 

The insurance fee covers one incident of accidental damage or theft (with a police report) per school year. We strongly recommend the insurance fee be paid as soon as the student has their assigned Chromebook.  If damage occurs before insurance is paid, the student will be assessed the FULL cost of the repair or replacement. For example, a broken LCD screen is $150 to repair.  A keyboard is $75. The insurance does not cover lost chargers; these are $25.

In a few days, their names will appear on the South Carolina registry and they can use their certification to obtain a job in the health care field.
