Dear Parents/Guardians, During the 2023-2024 school year, Northside ISD campuses will begin assessing charges for any damaged or lost student mobile device chargers. Per the Student Mobile Device Lending Agreement, by taking possession of a student-assigned charger, the parent agrees to be responsible as follows:
- Basic care and security of the charger on and off school premises.
- Reporting charger problems, breakage, or damage immediately to campus staff.
- A replacement cost due to intentional damage, damage due to neglect, or accident.
- Replacement costs due to charger loss for any reason (ie. theft, fire, flood, lightning, or any other cause).
- Ensuring the return of the assigned charger to NISD at the conclusion of the academic year, upon withdrawal from a Northside ISD campus, when transferring to another Northside campus, and/or when requested by NISD.
By default, all students are opted-in to this agreement for the school year, unless a parent explicitly opts their student out from receiving a mobile device and charger. If you do not agree with the terms detailed above, you will need to OPT-OUT of this agreement by signing in to the technology lending agreement system, and you must agree to provide your student with a personally owned device for instructional materials and assignments.*
*If you choose to change your request so that your Northside student receives a mobile device at a later time, you will need to sign into the technology lending agreement system to confirm that you OPT-IN, meaning that you agree with the terms and conditions for your student to receive a District-issued mobile device and charger.
Any payment received by the campus for lost, stolen, or damaged mobile device chargers will be used to replace the charger that was previously assigned to the student. Any and all chargers assigned to the student will need to be returned to Northside ISD at the conclusion of the academic year, upon withdrawal from a Northside ISD campus, when transferring to another Northside campus, and/or when requested by NISD.
For any questions concerning this process, please contact your student’s campus.
