Low Cost Internet Access
The Curley Technology Committee wants to make all families aware of a great opportunity to get a hot spot for wireless internet access from anywhere for only $10/mo. Tech Goes Home mission is to get all Boston residents online. They have partnered with providers for low-cost internet options.
You may have heard about the Comcast offer; however, Comcast’s offer is for a wired modem and can be difficult to obtain.
We recommend Mobile Beacon, which is $10/mo with a $29 set up fee. It offers unlimited data on a 4G network. There is no income test for this service. It is available solely based on zip code.
Directions:
- Go to the website: ConnectingBoston.org
- Click on “Click Here for Low Cost Internet Options”.
- Type in your zip code.
- Select “Yes, my child receives free price school meals” (Everyone in BPS does now) and click on View Offers.
- We recommend Mobile Beacon for a wireless hot spot on a 4G network with unlimited data. Click on “Enroll Online” under Mobile Beacon.
School Meals App
A reminder for next year – BPS has an app to keep track of the what is available for lunch for your student. Called the Nutrislice App, more information may be found on the school meals page.
For information about the low cost internet Access, the Nutrislice App, or the Curley’s ongoing technology work, please contact parent Sunny Schwarz.
