Every student will be given a Chromebook to ensure they can learn from home. Principals will communicate when those Chromebooks can be picked up.
For families that don’t have reliable Internet access, the district will have Kajeet hot spots to distribute. These hot spots will be filtered and allow students to access the online resources.
“Our goal is to provide resources to students and teachers that will enhance the learning experience whether in a traditional classroom setting, a remote learning environment or through WCS Online,” said Instructional Technology Director Kelly Wade.
Additional Internet connectivity resources are available on the WCS Student Resources page.
