Insurance

Back-to-school information for insurance renewal:  Insurance must be renewed for each school year and is available for purchase for all iPads that are part of the District’s 1:1 iPad program. (The insurance program applies to iPads that may be brought home by students). Insurance is an elective cost; it is not required.

  • Grades 1-3, $30/year (reduced due to intermittent home use)
  • Grades 4-12+ $40/year
Payments

  • For assistance with the payment process, email the Bursar's Office: bursar@minnetonkaschools.org

Normally, students who purchase insurance after receiving an iPad must have the iPad visually inspected by Media Center staff in order to verify the device is not damaged at the time of insurance purchase. Parents of new students arriving after the school year has begun should let the Media Center staff know if they want to purchase the insurance upon enrollment. If the iPad has already been issued then a visual inspection of the iPad by the Media Center staff will be needed to purchase the insurance. After a successful inspection, the Media Center staff will assess the $40 fee to the student’s account in Skyward Fee Management; and the fee will be available for online payment.

Insurance will cover the iPad from the date of purchase after inspection through the remainder of the school year and following summer. The annual cost for iPad insurance is $40 per iPad per year for grades 4-12+ and $30 per year for grades 1-3.
