Internet Essentials by Comcast 

 

 

At the Octorara Area School District, we know that many students and their families would like to have internet service at home so they can do homework, search for jobs, download music, and simply communicate with others. We also believe the internet can be an important part of your child's education.

That's why we want to make sure you know about a new program provided by Comcast called Internet EssentialsSM.

If you have at least one child receiving free school lunches from Octorara Area School District, your family may qualify for this fast, affordable home Internet service for the new school year. Internet Essentials costs just $9.95 per month (plus tax). For participating families, there are no price increases, activation fees or equipment rental fees.

In addition, you can buy a low cost computer for just $149.99 (plus tax) and receive free Internet training-online, in print and in classroom.

If you think this might be right for your family, it's easy to get started. Call Comcast toll free at 1-855-8-INTERNET (1-855-846-8376) to see if you qualify, enroll and get connected. Or for more information, you can go to InternetEssentials.com.

Again, Octorara Area School District wants to make sure that our students have access to online learning, and is excited to tell you about programs like Internet Essentials that may be helpful to your family.
