Internet hotspots
If you do not have access to reliable internet at home and need to request a Wi-Fi hotspot, please contact the Student Helpdesk. When submitting your request, please provide your name and mailing address so we can verify coverage prior to checkout. Note that we cannot guarantee coverage in all locations. Demand for hotspots is high, and after receiving your request, we will contact you when we have a device available for you to checkout.
Student Accounts
If your student cannot remember their password, you can help them retrieve it via Skyward. See this tutorial for where to access this information.
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.

Comcast is taking immediate steps to help connect low-income families to the Internet at home as the country continues to manage the COVID-19 emergency.

Additionally, for all new and existing Internet Essentials customers, the speed of the program’s Internet service has increased to 25 Mbps downstream and 3 Mbps upstream. That increase will go into effect automatically for no additional fee and it will become the new base speed for the program going forward. More info about Comcast’s Internet Essentials service offer is available here.
