Technology Accessibility / Accesibilidad a Internet
The Upper Adams School District will be moving forward with remote learning opportunities for students. Many of these options may include the ability to access the Internet for full engagement of some content. The Upper Adams School District is mindful that some families lack the ability to connect to the Internet from your locations. To that effect, we have extended our Internet Access to our parking lot in front of the high school, in the rear of the high school building near the baseball and field hockey fields, and the parking area near Musselman Stadium, so families could get online as needed from their vehicles in those areas. All public libraries in Pennsylvania are providing outside wifi access and Comcast has opened up their public wifi hotspots through their Xfinity public connections. In addition, many cellular carriers have now granted free wireless access to the Internet at no charge from their cell phone until the COVID-19 event has concluded, two such carriers are T-mobile and Sprint. However, please check with your cellular carrier to confirm if your provider is participating.
If our families find they still have barriers to accessing the Internet, please contact us at (717) 677-7191, extension 2416, and leave a message about your concerns. Your principal will then return your call and help you find options to connect to the Internet. If you have multiple children in the school district, please indicate so during your message, so we can coordinate with all of your child's principals. Thank you for your continued support and cooperation during this challenging time for our families and community. Your ongoing flexibility is appreciated.
El distrito escolar de Upper Adams empezara el programa de aprendizaje remoto sobre el internet para los estudiantes. El Distrito es consciente de que algunas familias tendrán dificultad de conectarse al Internet desde sus casa. A tal efecto, hemos extendido nuestro acceso del Internet a nuestro estacionamiento en frente de la escuela secundaria, en la parte trasera del edificio y cerca del estadio Musselman, para que las familias puedan conectarse desde sus vehículos en esas áreas. Todas las bibliotecas públicas de Pensilvania han dado acceso WiFi externo y Comcast ha abierto sus puntos de acceso WiFi públicos a través de Xfinity. Además, muchas compañías celulares ahora han dado acceso gratuito al Internet hasta que el evento COVID-19 haya concluido, dos de estos operadores son Sprint & T-mobile. Verifique con su proveedor celular para confirmar si su proveedor está participando. Si nuestras familias descubren que aún tienen barreras para acceder a Internet, contáctenos al (717) 677-7191, extensión 2416 y deje un mensaje. Su director luego le devolverá la llamada y lo ayudará a encontrar opciones para conectarse al Internet. Si tiene varios hijos en el distrito escolar, indíquelo durante su mensaje, para que podamos coordinarnos con todos los directores de su hijo. Gracias por su continuo apoyo y cooperación durante este momento difícil. Su flexibilidad es apreciada. Gracias.
