Textbook rental fees will be covered by the State of Indiana again this school year. This includes textbooks, workbooks, and technology devices essential for a basic education.
Students will be charged consumable fees, which cover specific class fees and supplies to enhance the educational experience. The fee amounts will be comparable to previous years, with the exception of last year when the school district covered these costs. For grades K-6, the fee will be around $30 per student. For grades 7-12, the fee will depend on the students' course selection, with additional costs for advanced placement, dual credit, and CTE classes.

Chromebook Insurance
Westfield Washington Schools is a one-to-one district which means every student has a mobile device that is provided by the district. Students in grade K-1 will have an iPad that stays at school. Students in grades 3-12 will have a Chromebook and will take it home when necessary. To help families in case of an accident, we have partnered with K12 Tech to offer insurance for $23. Chromebook insurance is good for one school year. Students who had insurance last year need to purchase it again this year if they want coverage.
K12 Tech offers protection plan coverage for all district-provided Chromebooks for students in grades 3-12. K12 Tech has been a great partner for the school district for more than six years. This is an optional program, but we highly recommend that you purchase coverage. Repairs can be very expensive and this will offset all costs. The pricing for students in grades 3-12 is $23.00 per student and repairs have NO DEDUCTIBLE. This once-time cost includes accidental damage protection and other common repairs for one school year.
Students in grades K-2 do not need the protection plan.
Covered damage includes:
| ● Screens (LCD) ● All casings, Keyboards ● Motherboards |
● Charging Ports ● Headphone Jacks ● WiFi Cards |
● USB Ports |
Damage NOT covered includes:
● Catastrophic Damage (Flood, Fire, etc)
● Chargers
● Damage done while the device is outside of the protective case.
● Vandalism or purposeful damage
Below are out-of-pocket costs of common repairs (prices my vary):
| Dell Chromebook Part | Cost |
| LCD | $72.00 |
| Motherboard | $169.00 |
| Palmrest/Keyboard | $115.40 |

Back to School Events
Safe Visitor
There will be lots of chances for you to visit your child in school, but you'll have to register with SafeVisitor and complete your background check. This is done for the safety of your children and our staff. You can assist in their classroom, chaperone field trips, meet them for lunch and much more. Your child(ren)'s teacher and/or principal will keep you updated with all of the opportunities.
Talking Points App
Westfield Washington Schools is now using TalkingPoints to communicate with families! TalkingPoints allows for seamless multilingual two-way communication between teachers and families. Families can choose to receive messages via SMS text messaging or through the free FAMILIES.
This platform has enhanced translation capabilities, so families can receive and send messages in their preferred language. Additional tools like speech-to-text, text-to-speech, and closed captioned videos make this program accessible to all of our Westfield families.
The most important thing you can do to ensure you are receiving messages from your child’s teacher is to make sure your contact information for the “Father” and “Mother” fields in PowerSchool is correct. When a teacher sends out a message, TalkingPoints will automatically use those two phone numbers. If you’d like to add additional contacts, please reach out to your child’s teachers.
