  during PE.

  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

• Student Insurance Partners is an independent
  company outside of RUSD.
• Insurance covers damages to and theft of the
  netbook.
• The cost of each netbook device is 250.
• If a device is broken, your student needs to take
  it to Mr. Porter in the library, so he can assess
  the damages and issue a loaner laptop until the
  broken netbook is repaired.

  with the form we have provided you.
