Happy snowy Tuesday. Thanks to all those who have gotten on and at least checked in with me! I have heard from all but three families at this time, which is pretty awesome. Most kids have checked in on Google Classroom at least a couple times. I am hoping after next Monday, everyone has access and we can be in a bit more a groove with this all. You should be receiving an email from the Asst. Superintendent later in the week with some updates on how we plan to proceed with distance learning.
This morning, we received an email from the Director of Technology in RSU1, Dean Emmerson who wanted you to know the following information:
School and Library WiFi: If you are in need of a connection to the internet, our school parking lots are an option. We have increased the speeds available to our "guest" network throughout the district.
Other options include the parking lot at local libraries and other school districts. In Bath, Patten Free Library has a public WiFi network.
Xfinity WiFi Free For Everyone: Xfinity WiFi hotspots located in businesses and outdoor locations across the country will be available to anyone who needs them for free – including non-Xfinity Internet subscribers. For a map of Xfinity WiFi hotspots, visit www.xfinity.com/wifi. Once at a hotspot, consumers should select the “xfinitywifi” network name in the list of available hotspots and then launch a browser.
