Chromebook Insurance
** The open enrollment window for Chromebook insurance is now open for BHS and BMS students.
Emails will be going out this week with more information **
Chromebook insurance is now available through the Worth Ave Group and is optional for students in grades 6-12 (since devices will stay in school for elementary students, there's no longer a need for it). Please see the following links for information on Chromebook insurance:
In order to enroll the device into the insurance plan, you will need your student's ID number.
Chromebook Insurance FAQs
Do I need Chromebook insurance?
We believe that insuring the Chromebook for the time your student is at the Burrillville Middle and High School is a great idea! The partnership with the Rhode Island Trust and the Worth Ave Group provides an unlimited number of zero-deductible claims for standard perils (fire, flood, vandalism), accidental damages (drops, spills, cracked screens), and theft (with police report).
How do I enroll a Chromebook into the insurance program?
You can insure the Chromebook during the next open enrollment window (September/October) by visiting https://gpo.worthavegroup.com/gpo/burrillvillehs.
What if I elect not to insure the Chromebook?
If you elect not to insure the Chromebook through the program, you will be responsible for reporting any damage to your BHS/BMS student's school administration. Your BHS/BMS student will be issued a loaner while the Chromebook is repaired by our Technology Department, and you will be billed for the repairs.
For comparison, here's a list of common repair costs if done by our Technology Department:
Screen replacement - $40
Keyboard replacement - $70
Track-pad replacement - $30
Liquid damage or motherboard replacement - $200
As you can see, insurance through Worth Ave Group is a cost-effective way to avoid costly repairs.
What can we do to protect the Chromebook?
We’ve put together a list of Chromebook Usage Expectations that cover the basics on how to care for and protect the Chromebook. Please take a moment to review them with your student.
