Family Internet survey results

Bancroft-Rosalie School surveyed families to find out how many students have internet access at home in order to plan for E-Day on November 22.
84.2% of students Grades K-2 had internet access.
89.5% of students in grades 3-6 had internet access.
85.7% of students in grades 7-8 had internet access.
82.9% of students in grades 9-12 had internet access.

Now that we have determined the level of student internet access, we can develop solutions for those students that don't have access.
The school will be open on November 22 for any students who want to utilize the school wi-fi.
The after-school extended learning program will operate from 8:00- 5:00 that day, which will include a field trip to the wayne State College Planetarium. Elementary students who attend the afterschool extended learning program will have the opportunity to complete their E-Day assignments with school staff.

Having the school open November 22 is a simple solution for that day, but will not meet the needs of most of the families without internet access at home if school is cancelled because of weather and an E-Day is arranged that morning of the storm.

Each family situation will need to be looked at to determine the best internet access solution for them.
