Hutto ISD strongly recommends the annual “optional device insurance” to provide parents with the peace of mind of knowing they will not be burdened with large out of pocket expenses for uncovered repairs, replacement, or loss. The District has created a self-insurance fund to offset the cost of repairs, maintenance, and device replacement. Without the optional device insurance, parents are charged for the cost of repairs for accidental damage. For example, a cracked screen is $156 dollars and a total device loss such as from a water spill is $300. For more information or to purchase the device insurance online, see this link.
The optional device insurance is only $26 for the whole school year.

Note: The optional device insurance is good for one school year. If you bought insurance last year, please be sure to purchase it again for the new school year to maintain coverage.

Parent Communication System, ParentSquare

Hutto ISD uses ParentSquare for school communication. Parents have the option to enroll for email, text and/or app notifications in their selected language. ParentSquare automatically generates an account for each parent, using their preferred email address and phone number. 

We encourage parents to access their accounts so they can download the mobile app and update their language preferences. Check out more information online at hipponation.org/parentsquare and watch videos and find helpful how-to articles at the Parents ParentSquare Guide.
