Device Waiver Fee

As part of the District’s 1:1 initiative, every Haverhill Public Schools student receives a HPS-issued Chromebook. HPS offers the opportunity to protect school-issued devices for the school year by paying a Device Waiver Fee. As outlined in the HPS Student Technology Device Policy, this $20 fee will help to cover the costs of potential damage, repair, or loss for the school year for the assigned device. Please note: issues of theft should still be reported to the police. The Device Waiver Fee is available for purchase throughout the school year. NOTE: Coverage under the Device Waiver Fee begins on the date of payment and does not apply to any damage or issues that occurred before the waiver was purchased.
