Dear CASD Parents and Guardians,

I hope this letter finds you well. As we continue to embrace technology as an integral part of our educational environment, we want to ensure that your child’s school-issued device is well-protected. To this end, in leu of our previous TIF, we are offering optional insurance coverage for these devices to help mitigate any potential costs associated with accidental damage, loss, or theft, outside of any warranty covered repairs.

Why Device Insurance?

School-issued devices are an important tool for learning, and while we strive to take great care of them, accidents can happen. Device insurance provides peace of mind and financial protection by covering repair or replacement costs due to unforeseen circumstances.

What computer insurance covers

A stand-alone computer insurance policy through Progressive includes coverage for perils (laptop theft, vandalism, fire damage, and more) and unexpected accidents such as:

• Water damage (including liquid spills and submersion)
  
• Damage from dropping or stepping on your laptop
  
• Power surges due to lightning

What laptop insurance doesn't cover

Laptop insurance doesn't cover everything. Some exclusions are:

• Computer viruses
  
• Wear and tear or corrosion
  
• Software issues
  
• Blatant neglect
  

All policies and claims are the sole ownership of the Parents and Guardians.

Complete details and common questions can be found at the following link: https://www.progressive.com/electronic-device-insurance/computer-laptop-insurance/

Lastly, for anyone that has already paid a TIF for the 2024-2025 school year, the district will be issuing those families a full refund.

Sincerely,

CASD Office of Technology

Regular school attendance is imperative for success in school. If your child is absent from school, please email the reason for the excuse that includes the date and purpose of the absence. You can email these to our attendance office at CAIHSAttendance Students can also bring notes down to the attendance window located in the main office. Please see the attendance requirements for all students below.

• If a student misses 18 days of school and/or 9 days in a semester, and/or misses the same class 18 times, and/or is habitually late to school, he/she will be required to have a School Attendance Improvement Plan (SAIP) meeting. From the meeting, the team will discuss the student’s attendance and make a potential recommendation for retention or being held back.

• In order to receive credit, a student must attend 90% of his/her class days.

• If a student misses more than 10 lawful or unlawful absences, requires an excuse from a licensed practitioner of the healing arts or medical doctor.

• A student can be retained for failing to show academic achievement for promotion.

• Retention or being held back shall only be considered for the worst-case scenarios and parents/guardians will be notified and a part of the process.

CAIHS families, should you have any questions, please reach out to CAIHS's administration.
