they are fragile
• The devices should never be tossed while in a
backpack

their device
• During PE, netbooks should be locked in their PE
locker
• Be sure there is nothing laying on the keyboard
when closing the device.
• Liquids should never be near the device
• Do not store the device in hot areas such as in the
car, by an oven, or heater
Insurance Protection

company outside of RUSD
• All claims go through Student Insurance
Partners
• The cost of each netbook device is $325 - $400

• Remember the cost of 4 books can exceed
$400
