What internet providers are available?

The Department of Instruction has created a website for those that are wanting the internet in their homes and not just on a mobile device.

 

How to get the internet in my home if I don’t have it?

Charter will offer free Spectrum broadband and Wi-Fi access for 60 days to households with K-12 and/or college students who do not already have a Spectrum broadband subscription and at any service level up to 100 Mbps. To enroll call 1-844-488-8395. Installation fees will be waived for new student households.

Do I need a Chromebook for digital learning or would my home computer work with an internet connection?

Your home computer will work the same as a Chromebook. Your child would log into Google under their school account and it will look and act the same as a Chromebook.

Students are not expected to be online at specific times. Lessons can be viewed at anytime that day and completed by set times.

Will the school year be extended and will the date of graduation be changed?
