Parent Tech Resources
Internet Access
For families that qualify for the free/reduced lunch program, Comcast and AT&T have programs that bring the Internet into your home for about $10 a month. Click the links below to get more information. If this amount is not affordable for you at this time, the school district does have hotspots available for checkout, however they do not offer the speeds and reliability of a home connection. Contact your school's Academic Support Provider, Parent Liaison, or administrator for more information.
