Laptop Insurance

LAPTOP INSURANCE

Dear Berkshire Families,
As we continue to integrate technology into our learning environments, we remain committed to ensuring that our students have access to quality devices to support their education.
However, the nature of daily use means that these devices might occasionally be subjected to physical damage by your student. The cost of repairing these devices can be significant, and we are aware that such unexpected expenses can impose a financial burden on our families. In our continuous efforts to serve our students and their families better, we are pleased to remind you about our Laptop Insurance Program for the upcoming school year.
This Laptop Insurance Program, introduced last year, is designed to either waive or reduce the cost associated with repairing or replacing a damaged device. For a nominal fee of just $20 per school year, this insurance provides a layer of protection and peace of mind, ensuring that accidental damages do not interrupt your child's learning or your family's budget.
The goal of this program is to ensure that technology is accessible and sustainable for all our students without significant financial implications for our families. While optional, we encourage you to consider this opportunity as a way to safeguard your student's device throughout the academic year.
To continue with or enroll in the Laptop Insurance Program, please visit our eFunds page on the school's website and select the " Student Laptop Insurance" option.
Please follow this link for more information on the BPS Student laptop insurance program. Laptop Insurance Program

We thank you for your ongoing support and commitment to providing the best educational technology experience for our students.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if a student forgot to charge their laptop and the battery is dead?

One of the best ways to avoid this issue is to consistently (and constantly) remind students to charge the laptop at home every night. They are expected to bring the laptop to school charged every day.

What if my student forgot to bring the laptop to school?

If a student forgets to bring their laptop to school, the student may miss out on laptop-related instructional activities that day. Please help your student bring their laptop to/from school daily!

Each school has a very small number of “loaner” devices. Priority for these loaners goes to students who experience equipment issues outside their control. When available, a student who forgot their laptop may be issued a “loaner” device but remember availability is limited.

What happens if a student’s laptop is broken?

The student should bring the broken laptop to their Building Tech Support (TOA). A loaner may be checked out for daily use to minimize loss of instructional time. Loaner laptops must be returned at the end of each school day unless arrangements have been made for overnight use.

What if the laptop is lost or stolen?

Your child should contact their Building Tech (TOA) immediately to help identify the last location of the device. This needs to be done in a timely fashion while the device is still on. If the device is not recovered, the student/parent is responsible for the cost of replacement.

A stolen laptop needs to be reported ASAP to the student’s administrator and a police report must be filed. The student will be issued a replacement when the police report is received. A loaner will be issued for daily use until this issue is resolved.

It is critical that the student maintain good security for the laptop always! Please work with your student to reinforce the importance of taking care of the laptop.

How are students kept safe online?

When students’ use district issued laptops, while at school or home, they access the internet through district filtering and security systems. These systems are provided to help ensure students’ online safety as they explore the World Wide Web. They are also designed to meet the federal requirements outlined in the Children’s’ Internet Protection Act (CIPA) with which the district must comply. BPS computer filtering relies on security systems and Microsoft. These state-of-the-art filtering systems are used to block inappropriate or objectionable material and provide online computing environments for students which support their education. However, no filtering system is 100% reliable.

Students are responsible to help ensure their online safety and should report any inappropriate sites as well as immediately leave the site. The district’s Acceptable Use Policy prohibits the use of proxy bypass or other tools that can get around the district’s filtering systems.

District technology staff can block additional sites identified as containing inappropriate content. If sites within blocked categories are needed for specific instructional purposes, teachers can request those sites be opened for access. Students computing offsite on district-issued computers are tunneled back through district firewalls so that they cannot bypass safe student filtering while connected to private networks.

How can I know what my student is doing on the school computer?

Get the username and password from your student. While we prohibit sharing passwords with unauthorized users, parents are explicitly authorized users. We encourage you to know what your student is doing on his or her school laptop.

Can students use their own personal computer instead of a district-issued computer?

There are several reasons why we are providing the same computing devices to all students in school. They include safety, instruction and technical support.

Safety:
We have installed web filters and have other safety precautions that help prevent students from accessing inappropriate or unsafe websites while at school or home. We can’t be sure that devices brought from home meet the same standard.
Instruction:
We have purchased and installed software packages on district laptops that are not available on outside computers. The same software will be on each district laptop, so teachers can quickly and more efficiently teach entire classes and help individual students. Trying to teach a lesson with several different kinds of software and/or different versions of that software would be very difficult.
Technical Support:
We can’t offer the same level of support to BYOD / personal devices and systems, which could lead to more computer downtime and lost learning opportunities.
Students who use their personal computer at school, do so at their own risk. The district is not responsible for lost or stolen personal computers. Any student who uses a personal device must have a release form on record before it can be used at school. Student devices are intended to be used at school each and every day.
In addition to teacher expectations for laptop/Chromebook use, school messages, announcements, calendars, academic handbooks, student handbooks, and schedules can be accessed using the school device. Students are responsible for bringing their device to all classes unless specifically advised not to do so by their teacher.

What if a student has trouble with their district device?

The Tech Repair Center is usually located in the Media Center and is the first point of contact for any issues with the device.

Services provided by the Repair Center include:

User Account Support
Work Orders for repair
Hardware maintenance and repair
Operating System or software configuration support
Reimaging device if needed
System software updates as needed

Students will receive support upon request by coming to the building TOA located in the Media Center. The TOA will communicate directly with the student offering troubleshooting steps or creating a work order for repair if needed.

OFFICE HOURS

Berkshire students can locate technical support inside the media center as early as 7: 45 a.m. on the following days:

Tuesdays
Wednesdays
Fridays

Student’s Technology Use/Expectations

Student’s Technology Use/Expectations

Expanding technologies take students and staff beyond the confines of the classroom, and provide opportunities for enhancing, extending, and rethinking the learning process. A goal in providing digital resources is to promote educational equity and excellence throughout the District so students can acquire the skills and knowledge to learn effectively, collaborate efficiently, communicate creatively and live productively in a digital world.

I understand that Birmingham Public Schools provide digital resources for students’ work, as an integral part of the curriculum. Behavior and language in the use of these resources should be consistent with classroom standards.

I agree to the following responsibilities and restrictions:

I will not give my password to any other user, nor attempt to learn or to use anyone else’s password, and I will not transmit my address or telephone number, or any personal or confidential information about myself or others.
I will not make statements or use the likeness of another person that harass, intimidate, threaten, insult, libel or ridicule students or staff members of the school community, make statements that are falsely attributed to others, or use language that is disrespectful or obscene.
I will not attempt to access, upload, or transmit material that attacks ethnic, religious or racial groups, or material that is pornographic or explicitly sexual in nature.
I will not violate copyright laws, damage or tamper with hardware or software, vandalize or destroy data, intrude upon, alter or destroy the files of another user, introduce or use computer “viruses,” or attempt to gain access to restricted information or networks.

Laptop/Chromebook Distribution

Laptop/Chromebook Distribution

Students will be given a laptop/chromebook when entering Birmingham Public Schools. In most cases, The student will have the same device for the duration of their stay in each building. (Elementary, Middle, High School)
Elementary will receive a chromebook (Dell CB) that will remain on a classroom cart. Students will be able to take home a chromebook only when requested by their teacher.
Middle School- 7th and 8th grade will receive laptops (Dell 2 in 1- 3310) and 6th grade will receive a chromebook (Dell Chromebook 3110). All students will receive one charger and must take home their laptop daily so they can be charged and ready for the next day.
High School students will get a laptop. (Dell 2 in 1- 3330). All students will receive one charger and must take home their laptop daily so they can be charged and ready for the next day.

All Devices will be distributed with a power adapter and protective case. Students are responsible for replacing power adaptors if lost or damaged. It is in the students best interest to order a spare power adaptor so they will always be ready for class. Order information can be found on the BPS Website.
