    Parents can opt-in or opt-out of participating in the device program by completing the Technology Permissions Form in Student Online Registration.

    Need to Change Your Form Response?

    If you have already completed Student Online Registration, the system will not allow you to change your form response to opt-in or opt-out of receiving a device. Please download and complete the Technology Permission Form (English, Spanish). Email your completed form to your child’s campus. Your form responses will be updated in our system.

    Interested in Device Protection Insurance?

    Hays CISD offers an optional protection plan for district-owned devices to cover accidental damage or theft. Plans range from ten to forty dollars, based on your child’s National School Lunch Program (NSLP) designation.
