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 homes, contact  J. Blair Dover , technology facilitator.

Conducting research, collaborating on assignments, and communicating with teachers are essential activities for success.
