Chromebook Protection Plan

Students and parents are responsible for the Chromebook that is issued to them, just as they are for other district-loaned items such as textbooks, calculators, cameras, athletic equipment, or library books. The CPP provides families some financial protection if the Chromebook needs to be repaired or replaced.

The annual Chromebook Protection Plan (CPP) can provide some peace of mind if something should happen accidentally to the Chromebook. Enrollment in the CPP program is optional. The CPP cost is $10 (non-refundable) per year, per student that covers the first and second accidental damage. Keep in mind that damage caused by willful destruction is not covered by the CPP.
 

You can purchase the CPP and complete the Chromebook Protection Plan Agreement during Lincoln Middle School’s Spartan Start-Up or Pullman High School’s Greyhound Gear-Up at the start of each school year. You can also print the Chromebook Protection Plan Agreement form and mail/deliver it to the school's main office, pick-up a form at the school's office or make a payment online to enroll in the optional Chromebook Protection Plan.

If you do not want to be responsible for the Chromebook, please discuss this desire with your school's Principal.

A Chromebook Protection Plan (CPP) can be purchased for students in grades 6th-12th.
