Garces Families,
As you all know, yesterday the Diocese of Fresno made the decision to close all campuses in the diocese starting Monday, March 16th. We are blessed to be an Apple Distinguished School with a 1:1 iPad program, allowing us to have the proper tools to continue educating our students online during the closure. With that, we understand that not everyone has access to Wi-Fi. Yesterday, Spectrum announced it would offer free high-speed internet services to households with students in grades kindergarten through 12th or in college.
Starting Monday, March 16th, the Charter Communications-own company will provide free Wi-Fi, including installation and equipment, for 60 days to households that do not already have a Spectrum broadband subscription at any service level up to 100 Mbps. After the free 60-day period, you can choose to continue at the cost of $54.99/month. Families who qualify for the Spectrum Assist program can continue for $22.99/month.
We know students can also use their phones as a personal hotspots, however, please check with your cell phone providers before using your phone as personal hotspot to ensure you do not exceed your data limit and incur additional charges. Even if you have an "unlimited data" plan, those too have a limit in which you could exceed and incur additional charges.
