Family Internet Connectivity Support

Having a reliable connection to the internet is essential for families and students to engage in accessing resources, completing online/digital assignments and to communicate with family and friends.  There are many options available from a variety of resources to support the connectivity needs of our LSSD families.  If you are in need of internet connectivity, see the list below to determine which option best meets your family’s needs.
