Technology Fees

We know that accidents happen. Sometimes, school-issued equipment can become damaged--whether items are dropped, piled with other items, or mishandled in some manner. 

Electronic gadgets can be damaged in a huge variety of ways--from damaged ports to broken screens. When students (or staff!) damage an item that is assigned to them, we will provide a loaner when it is possible while their device is awaiting repair. 

Families can also receive a bill from the Technology Department in other scenarios as well; for instance, if a student withdraws from HHSC and does not return their school-issued device, their family will receive a bill for the replacement cost of that device.

If your student has a broken device, please advise them to submit a student help desk ticket or visit the Technology Department directly. Younger students can inform their teacher, who may then submit a ticket and/or email a Technology specialist directly (parents can also choose to communicate this information with their child's teacher). 

The student will receive a loaner device while their damaged device is being repaired. A bill will be sent to you to cover the cost of the repair.*

*Rarely, a student may inadvertently damage another student's equipment. In that case, the individual responsible for the damage will receive the bill, regardless of who the device was assigned to.
