We will be holding another FCC Affordable Connectivity Program sign-up night at Camden High School. Come on out to the CHS Library on Thursday, November 16th beginning at 5:30 PM to learn more about the program.
Under the Affordable Connectivity Program, parents/guardians of currently enrolled CCSD students are eligible to receive a monthly discount on their internet service of up to 30 dollars through a participating provider. They are eligible because we serve free meals to students under the Community Eligibility Provision. Numerous popular providers are included in this discount.
You may also be able to receive a one-time device purchase discount as part of this program. (Restrictions apply).
To register, you will need to bring some information with you, which is detailed in the attached flyer. That information will be used to provide you with an eligibility letter certifying that your student is enrolled with us that you can use to receive your discount.
We will have devices on site that you can use to register, or you can always take your eligibility letter home along with program information to sign up at your convenience.
Contact Lauren Platt (lplatt@camdencsd.org) if you have any questions.
Even if you don't have a student with us, you may still qualify under a variety of criteria. Visit getinternet.gov to see how you may qualify.
The next meeting of "Look at Me, I'm Three!" will be held on Wednesday, November 15th! Contact Patti Ferretti to confirm attendance if you will be bringing your child this month.
