Student Device Insurance

Student device insurance is offered to families of CRPUSD students in Middle School and High School and covers accidental damages to an individual student's school issued device for the period of 1 school year. If a family has 2 or more students, they must purchase insurance for each individual student per year. Insurance may be purchased during the first few weeks of the school year, unless enrolling mid-year, and is valid until the beginning of the following school year.

Insurance covers 2 separate damage incidents during the school year in which it is purchased. Devices with hardware or software malfunctions that are not caused by damage will be repaired free of charge regardless of insurance coverage. Lost devices are not covered under insurance and will be charged the full replacement cost of the device minus the cost of any insurance already purchased. Stolen devices will be replaced free of charge if a police report is filed and provided to the district. Insurance is not necessary for Elementary student devices. 

Student Device Insurance eligibility is closed for the 2024-2025 school year.

Updating Your Chromebook

Should I be updating the chromebook regularly?
No, most of the time the chromebook will update itself automatically. These instructions are for
chromebooks that aren’t allowing you to access a web page or app because your chrome
browser or operating system is out of date.

How long does it take to update?
Depending on how behind the chromebook is from the latest version it can take up to an hour.

What if my application/website is still saying my computer is out of date?
Please contact 707-285-2078 or put in a ticket at my.crpusd.org

Wireless Internet

The Technology Services Department has made numerous changes to our infrastructure that impact how the personal devices of teachers, staff, and students connect to our network and digital resources.

The CRPUSD Network Certificate (found below on this page) is required to connect to the internet. For Windows and macOS computers, a valid anti-virus product is required, as a district we recommend Sophos Home because it is free to use. You do not need anti-virus on your mobile phone / tablets.
