1 to 1 Student Device Information

  • This image is a header that contains two main elements: A large blue banner on the left side with white text that reads "1 TO 1 STUDENT DEVICE INFORMATION". On the right side, there's a logo for the "TECHNOLOGY DIVISION" of "PASADENA ISD".

Pasadena Independent School District is proud to be a 1:1 district, providing each student with their own computer, charger, as well as academic and productivity software. This initiative ensures that every student has equal access to digital learning resources both in the classroom and at home. By equipping our students with individual devices, we aim to enhance their educational experience, promote digital literacy, and prepare them for an increasingly technology-driven world.

OPTIONAL Student Device Coverage

For the 2024-2025 school year, OPTIONAL Student Device Coverage is provided by Securranty for $25. Click here to Purchase

Coverage provides protection for:

  • Accidental Damage
  • Theft
  • Standard Perils (Flood, Fire, Vandalism.)

Please note that student device coverage is optional. If coverage is desired, it must be purchased per student and includes unlimited claims per year, with no deductible. Coverage also transfers when a student exchanges a device.

The Technology Support Services department will process claims for covered devices.

Here is an example of how the process would work:

  • Student is issued a device.
  • Within 30 calendar days, the student and\or guardian opts to purchase coverage, then accesses Our site securranty.com/pasadenaisd to process payment via Credit Card, Debit Card, PayPal or a Personal check. (No cash option is available.)
    • The device bar code or serial number does not need to be provided when coverage is purchased.
  • If the student experiences a covered incident (such as a cracked screen), the student brings the device to the school’s Campus Support Technician.
  • The Campus Support Technician confirms that the student is covered, then issues the student a replacement device.
  • The Campus Support Technician processes the claim and updates the newly issued device bar code in the insurance system.

Pasadena ISD Student Handbook 2024-25

Fees, Fines and Repair Each student is issued a computer in good working order with standardized software. Students are expected to keep the computer in good condition. Failure to do so could result in out of pocket costs summarized in the table below. All student device fees must be paid in full.

Accidental Damage and Acceptable Condition Protection Coverage (“Coverage”) may be provided as an annual insurance offered to students and parents/guardians by the Pasadena Independent School District (“PISD”) or by a designated insurance carrier. This Coverage is offered as a form of insurance to help parents avoid unexpected out of pocket expenses. It is strongly encouraged that parents/guardians consider purchasing this coverage.

  • Students found with inappropriate files on their computer will have the computer re- imaged and will be charged a $15.00 re-image fee.
  • Missing or stolen computers must be reported immediately to school administrators.
  • It is the responsibility of the student/parent to provide information for a Pasadena ISD police report by the soonest available school day. This police report demonstrating evidence of theft must accompany any claim of theft.
  • If a computer is deemed intentionally damaged or persistent damage is noted, the student is responsible for the full cost of the repair.
