Internet access

We encourage you to explore the following resources to determine if they are a fit for your family. Students who do not have internet access at home will be provided remote educational opportunities in the form of paper learning packets.

Some cell phone providers allow you to use your mobile device to create a hotspot that allows you to connect other devices to the internet. Call your wireless network provider (AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon, etc.) to explore this option.
