Suggestions for Wifi
Please check with your community library. Many are offering free wifi services to our students. You may be able to park in their parking lot and access wifi from your Tangischools issued devices. Also, our school parking lots may be open for students to use in the evenings or weekends. Please reach out to your child's teacher or school office for more information. If your child is having difficulty completing assignments from home, please notify your teachers. Our teachers and admins are understanding of the circumstances that our students and families are facing (because many of us are facing them too!). An email or a call to the school is the place to start.
Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP)
The ACP is no longer accepting applications. The last fully funded month of ACP was April 2024. Consumers can apply for another federal benefit called Lifeline. Your internet company may be able to assist you in staying connected. Consumers should reach out to their internet company to see if they offer alternative low-cost internet plans. They may be able to help you enroll in a new and affordable plan even though the ACP benefit is no longer available.
