WiFi Hotspots for Student Check-out

  • WiFi Hot Spot graphic  WPS has a limited number of filtered WiFi hotspots available for student check-out. The availability of these hotspots is through a partnership with T-Mobile's EmpowerED 2.0 Program. The devices are available through check-out from each school and are intended for educational purposes with WPS issued chromebooks for students who do not have access to Internet at home. For more info and to request to check-out a hotspot please contact your school's social worker.

WiFi-Enabled School Buses

  • 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 used WiFi-enabled buses parked in strategic locations as an additional resource for providing students with an opportunity for Internet access for distance learning.
