  - At Home Internet Hot Spots- Many community resources are available to help with at home internet access.
  - Many internet service providers like AT&T or Comcast have special offers for free or very inexpensive basic service packages for low-income families
  - AT&T and Xfinity (Comcast) have community based wifi access zones that they have opened to all users
  - Many cell phone companies have offered low cost options to add hotspot functionality to cell phone plans.
  - Others have leveraged families, friends, neighbors, etc. for access.

If families have explored these options and still have no opportunity for internet services, we have a very limited number of hotspots that could be checked out for use. Please contact the school administration who can request hotspots for check-out.
