What happens if my student’s device is damaged or stolen?

In the case of theft, a police report must be completed and turned in to the school.

In the case of an accidental or intentional incidents, the family will be responsible for the cost of repairing the device. The district has tried to keep any expenses to families as low as possible. The cost of the repair is only for the cost of the part and not for replacing it. Below you will find the pricing list for Samsung and Acer models.

What about cyber-safety?

The district filters Internet content on its networks. Cedar Falls is committed to educating students and parents on how to be safe on the Internet.
