Device Damage Waiver Program
Students are responsible for protecting their Pattonville laptop from loss or damage. However, accidents happen. In order to protect families from being responsible for the entire cost to repair a laptop, Pattonville School District uses a damage waiver program that requires families to pay an initial fee and then only be charged a scaled deductible for covered claims made to repair a damaged laptop. For 23-24, damage waivers can be paid online. Look for communication soon regarding details for using MySchoolBucks. More Information: PSD Damage Waiver Program

What if our family does not have Internet access?
Pattonville has a limited number of Internet-access devices. Families must complete a Free & Reduced Lunch application to qualify.
What if my student misuses the laptop at home or school?
Any violation of the student behavior guide and acceptable use policy, including uses of technology, will be dealt with accordingly. For severe cases of student misuse it is possible to use sanctions on student devices, but those sanctions can also hinder a student's access to academic materials and have unintended consequences. Contact the student's principal for inquiries into student discipline.
