Evanston/Skokie District 65 is providing and administering an iPad protection plan for students and parents as part of our Access to Innovate program. The District plan covers physical damage to the device and is designed to limit a family’s financial responsibilities for any damages as described in the protection plan section below. The current price to replace an iPad is $300.  Parents/students carry the full liability if payment for the protection plan has not been received. Coverage must be purchased two weeks after receipt of the iPad in order to be eligible for this school year. Households who are eligible for free lunch will automatically be enrolled in the protection plan at no cost. Households who are eligible for reduced lunch will have a reduced percentage applied automatically to the fee payments.

All payments are made through RevTrak using the student id number and a family sign-in. If you do not have an account, or need technical support with account access please send an email to jacksont3@district65.net. For questions about payments or to make a payment families may pay in person at the Joseph E. Hill (JEH) building (1500 McDaniel Ave) or call (847) 859-8016.  If coming to JEH to pay fees in person, please call 8016 from the lobby phone. Payments cannot be received at the main office of the school.
