TECHNOLOGY & WIFI

  • BISD DEVICES

    Students enrolled in BISD will use district-issued technology to assist with their learning. 

    TECH SUPPORT

    With the expectation that students are in class full-time, technical support questions should be brought to the attention of the appropriate teacher, building technical support specialist, or school librarian. 

    WIFI

    Families who do not have reliable WiFi connectivity at their residence may request mobile hotspots for work at home at no cost. Be aware that the quality of the hotspot connection is dependent on the distance between your location and the nearest cellular tower. Requests for mobile hotspots can be made to the appropriate teacher, building technical support specialist, school librarian, or to the district Technical Services team at helpdesk@bisd303.org.

    NOTE: Families who cannot afford internet connectivity and who qualify for free or reduced lunch, should email Kiyo Toma, Director of Technology, at ktoma@bisd303.org to ask about possible state or federal assistance programs and the use of mobile hotspots.
