PROCEDURES FOR RETURNING MOBILE DEVICES - May 2022
Please see the "Return of Mobile Devices May 2022" file below for instructions on how to return your device package. The file, with instructions for returning devices, has short videos in the presentation so be patient while the file downloads.

​

THE DEVICE PACKAGE NEEDS TO BE RETURNED TO THE SCHOOL, EVEN IF YOU ARE RETURNING THE FOLLOWING SCHOOL YEAR. THERE WILL BE A CHARGE POSTED TO YOUR ACCOUNT FOR THE DEVICE AND CHARGER PACKAGE IF IT IS NOT RETURNED. PRICES WILL BE BASED UPON THE RECOVERY COSTS POSTED AND IS SUBJECT TO AN INCREASE IF THE DEVICE IS NOT RETURNED ON TIME. ADDITIONALLY, $4 DAILY LATE FINES WILL BE ASSESSED FOR THE UNTIMELY RETURN OF THE LAPTOP PACKAGE.

​

TO AVOID THESE FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS, PLEASE RETURN THE DEVICE PACKAGE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. YOU WILL BE ISSUED A RECEIPT IF THE THE DEVICE PACKAGE IS RETURNED UNDAMAGED AND WITHOUT MISSING COMPONENTS.

​

If your device is damaged/broken or missing parts, please return the package in its current condition to the media center. If you have insurance, tape a printout of the insurance policy and claim number to the tablet/laptop and any accessories. (If you are filing a claim, you may find the "How to file a claim with Securranty.pdf " helpful.) If the device is broken or missing parts, and you do not have proof of insurance and a claim number, you will be given a financial obligation. To avoid paying an increase in Recovery Costs, mobile device financial obligations need to be satisfied by no later than the end of the current school year. 

​

Devices and/or accessories not returned will be considered lost and a replacement cost will be automatically assessed. (See the "Recovery Fees 2021-2022" file below.) Device packages returned late will be assessed a late fine, based on the number of days it is late.

Read and review the "Return of Mobile Devices May 2022" file below before returning the laptop package. Charge your laptop completely since it will need to be turned on upon return.
