HAMPTON TOWNSHIP SCHOOL DISTRICT

DEVICE REGISTRATION AND INSURANCE FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

*Updated 09/25/2023*

The Hampton Township School District offers an optional district issued device insurance program.  Through this process, families must enroll the student device at this website www.one2onerisk.com and select to either ACCEPT or DECLINE the insurance option.

Q: What is the annual cost of the insurance coverage?

  • The annual cost of the insurance is $35.00 for each student with a family cap of 3 students.  

  • Each student needs to be registered individually by re-entering the One2One website for each child. 

  • The insurance coverage fee is waived for families who are on the free and reduced lunch program, but parents still need to register, and the system will show a $0.00 fee.

  • This fee is not used to purchase the devices, but rather to protect the families from high repair costs.

Q: Will my child receive their device before school starts?   

  • No.  Devices will be distributed during Homeroom on the first school day for high school and middle school as long as the parents or guardians of the student has logged into the One2One Risk device insurance program and ACCEPTED or DECLINED the insurance.

  • Elementary students will be given a device in school on their first day.  

  • Everyone receiving a device must login and either ACCEPT or DECLINE the insurance through the One2One website.  

  • The 2023-2024 registration window is September 25 through October 31, 2023.   

  • Coverage will be for the 2023-2024 school year only. 

Q: Do I have to take this device?

Devices are assigned to all students in the same way that classroom textbooks and other resources are assigned.  The difference being that families are given the option to purchase insurance for the device to help offset the cost of any applicable repair or replacement that could be needed.  As with textbooks and other materials, if it is lost or damaged the cost of the repair or replacement becomes an obligation payment to the district.  At the high school level only, if a student has an equivalent personally assigned device at home, a parent may opt to allow the student to bring that device to school, but there are differences. If you are a high school student and plan to use a personal device, please review our Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) information page and submit the BYOD request form to notify the district of this plan.

Q: Should parents purchase insurance now or later?
A: Insurance should be purchased prior to a student receiving their device, parents need to register their students’ device and either accept or decline insurance during the registration window. The insurance policy covers the device while the students are at school and at home.

Q: How can I register more than one child?
A: Each child’s device and the option to accept or decline insurance for each child needs to be completed separately. To register more than one child, complete the registration for one child, then access the One2One website again and complete the process for your next child.
