In an effort to provide WiFi access to students who don't have access at home, Savannah Chatham County Public School System school busses equipped with WiFi hotspots will begin operation Tuesday, September 1, 2020. The district has outfitted 10 transportation buses with technology that will provide mobile Internet access for our students. The busses will make two stops daily, one from 8:00 until 11:00 a.m. and the second from 1:00 until 4:00 p.m at locations throughout the county.
“We are excited to rollout our SmartBuses, 'WiFi on Wheels,' for our students that do not have or are having difficulty connecting to the Internet," said David Feliciano, Chief Data and Accountability Officer. “We have worked closely with Transportation, Campus Police, and the schools to provide the best locations for serving our students. This will provide additional options for students to connect and continue their online learning during school building closure."
A Smartbus supports a total of 60 student connections. Connectivity to the bus can be from 300ft - 400ft, line of sight. It uses 4G LTE speeds for cell tower connection and provides WiFi connectivity to student personal or school issued devices. It is CIPA-compliant and provides education-only content filtering. Locations and schedules can be found here.

For 7th Grade Parents/Students
Reminder: Georgia law requires that students entering seventh (7th) grade must have one (1) dose of Tdap (Tetanus, Diphtheria & Pertussis) and one (1) dose of MCV4 (Meningitis) vaccine. The Chatham County Health Department - 1395 Eisenhower Drive, Savannah, GA 31406 - offers immunization services Monday through Friday - telephone number is: (912) 356-2441. You can also make an appointment with your child’s primary care physician for their immunization updates.
If your child has a medical exemption, it can only be accepted on the current Georgia 3231 immunization form – signed by a physician. Medical exemptions are good for one year and must be renewed annually by a physician – as needed. If your child has a religious exemption to immunizations, you may obtain the Georgia Department of Public Health Form 2208 (Affidavit of Religious Objection to Immunization) from the Georgia Department of Public Health website. This form - 2208 - must be notarized. In accordance with state law, your child will not be allowed attendance unless we receive a current Georgia Form 3231 with all required immunizations. Please email all immunization documents to Jamie.Vanderark@sccpss.com. Thank you for your efforts in keeping our entire student body healthy and safe.
