WPS has a limited number of filtered WiFi hotspots available for student check-out. The availability of these hotspots is currently limited to students in grades 6-12 through a pilot program partnership with T-Mobile's EmpowerED 2.0 Program. The devices are available through check-out from the library media centers and are intended for educational purposes with WPS issued chromebooks for students who do not have access to Internet at home.

WPS utilizes a WiFi SmartBus solution from Kajeet to provide mobile filtered WiFi Internet access to students. By providing this mobile service on some of our buses we are able to provide students the opportunity to extend digital learning outside of the classroom, particularly on long bus rides for field trips and athletic events. During the COVID-19 pandemic we have been able to use WiFi-enabled buses parked in strategic locations as an additional resource for providing students with an opportunity for Internet access for distance learning.
