Take Home Chromebooks & 1Million Hotspots
Performance Learning Center offers every student the opportunity to take home a Chromebook and sign up for a hotspot (10gB per month.)
Please see Ms. Dover for the Hotspot form (located on the board outside the Learning Commons, B-Hall)
CMS and Sprint 1 Million Project have partnered to provide free wifi hotspots to high school students who do not have sufficient Internet access in their homes. To apply for a device that will provide connectivity for students in their home, contact J. Blair Dover, technology facilitator. Conducting research, collaborating on assignments, and communicating with teachers are essential activities for success. We invite you to contact J. Blair Dover, technology facilitator, today!
