Low Cost Internet for Eligible Families
With all students learning remotely from the start of school on Aug. 17 until at least Sept. 11, some of our families are wondering whether they have the internet bandwidth to support online coursework during Empowered Learning At-Home.
Internet connectivity is an important consideration for students learning at home, and the district is working to provide multiple supports to help our families, including arranging mobile hotspots and boosting campus internet so that the district’s Wi-Fi network is accessible from school parking lots. However, there are also special offers on low-cost internet that qualifying families may want to consider.
Specifically, both Comcast Internet Essentials and Access from AT&T offer home internet service for around $10 a month. These specially priced plans require an application, and are designed to assist families who might also qualify for public assistance programs such as the National School Lunch Program, Housing Assistance, Medicaid, SNAP and SSI.
HOME ACCESS CENTER (HAC)
Parents, your child's new homeroom teacher, and registered courses can be found in the Home Access Center (HAC). These are the areas in which your child will receive their grades. However, this schedule reflects the day to day instruction (once we return) and may not be aligned to the remote learning schedules we have prepared. Please look for communication from your child’s teacher with more details about your child's remote learning schedule.
If you do not receive communication from your child’s teacher about FIRST DAY, please check out the Virtual Google Links to find out where to go, when class starts, please check out the remote learning schedule to get the Class Links.
When public health conditions allow for in-person learning, we will be following your child’s schedule on HAC and our bell schedule for on-campus instruction for those families who have chosen that option. Until then, please have your students “school and camera ready” at the time listed in our remote learning schedule. We will be using this start time at least for the next four weeks or through Sept. 11.
If you have any questions about your student’s schedule, please contact 281-891-8750.
