Reliable internet access at home is increasingly essential for K-12 students. Much of today’s classroom learning continues beyond school hours, involving homework, research, and online discussions that all rely on dependable connectivity.

Without reliable internet, students can struggle to complete assignments and risk falling behind academically. They also miss out on digital resources that support skill development and ignite new interests. In addition, home internet access helps students stay connected with peers and access support networks—particularly beneficial for those in rural or remote areas.

Thankfully, families have options for affordable and reliable internet at home. Certain internet service providers offer reduced-cost plans for K-12 families, and some programs provide free or low-cost refurbished computers to those who qualify. We encourage you to explore the resources listed here for more information and assistance.
