During the annual update or student enrollment, you were asked if you wanted to participate in the Cooperative Loss program through the Technology department. This is completely optional since there is a $15.00 fee per student, for 3rd-5th grades only. The $15.00 helps lower the costs of repairs or replacements for the iPads. The cost list is below.

The $15.00 fees can be paid through ParentVue, with a credit card, or you can send a check with your student to drop off at the office. Checks can be made out to Willowdale Elementary.

The deadline to pay the $15.00 fee will be September 15th.

Any questions or concerns, please reach out to Terri Hartley at tlhartley@mpsomaha.org or call the school at 402-715-8280.

KG-2nd grade students do not need to worry about this fee.
