This program does NOT cover damage resulting from misuse, or loss of the device. We expect all students to properly use their device and to secure it when it is not being used. If the device is used improperly or is not secured while the student is not using it, families will be expected to pay the full cost of replacement or repair.

Purchased DPP coverage will last from the first day of the school year in which its purchased, until the last day of summer vacation. If a student returns a device that was damaged during the summer break, DPP coverage purchased during the prior school year will apply.

• For the 2023-24 school year, a student’s DPP coverage ends on September 2, 2024 with a 5 school-day grace period.
• For the 2024-25 school year, a student’s DPP coverage will begin on September 3, 2024 and ends on September 4, 2025 with a 5 school-day grace period. (Subject to change based on negotiation of the 25-26 school year calendar).
• DPP can be purchased until late July for the remaining 2023-24 coverage period through summer (date of purchase through September 3, 2024) from your Touchbase account.
• DPP for the 2024-25 school year will be available for purchase in late August 2024 from your Touchbase account.
• Reminder: If a student does not purchase DPP coverage, a fine for damage is assessed. DPP does not cover loss of the device nor accessories.
