Hotspot use on personal devices is impacting our WiFi network. Going forward, hotspots are no longer allowed here at school.  Please use your PPSK WiFi account or your personal data plan (without hotspot enabled) to access the internet. The easiest way to ensure your device is not being used as a hotspot is to set it to airplane mode.

Also, please note that compliance with the rules for acceptable use of computers and the internet applies to personal devices while at school.

The last chance to sign-up to save $100 on “The Tour of Italy 2017” is March 25th.
