March 29, 2020 Update
 
Thanks to a generous donation from the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, 300 Verizon WiFi hotspots are being donated to Ravenswood families without home Internet.
 
Unfortunately due to a massive amount of non-academic data usage of the hotspots over the last few days and the current inability to manage individual hotspots, all WiFi hotspots have been disabled through the remainder of this Spring Break weekend.
 
Individual hotspots have received an alert text message about the situation.
 
For those who are using the hotspots for academic reasons, we apologize for the disruption in service and will have an update for you next week during Spring Break.
 
Sincerely,
 
Director of Technology
