With the closing of our school campuses for in-person instruction in the Spring, the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System implemented distance learning methods for the continuation of teaching and learning. Now as we start the new school year in a virtual learning environment, students will receive instruction via the internet and our SCCPSS Education Channel on Comcast, Channel 195. By shifting to a learning-at-home environment, the role of technology has never been greater. In a strategic move to ensure technology barriers were addressed, the district pulled devices from schools at the end of March for distribution to students. However, many students still do not have devices or access to technology at home. We are asking for funding support from business partners and/or individuals to assist us in securing Chromebooks and personal wi-fi devices (hot spots) for students in need. Any monetary donation would be a tremendous help to sustain academic progress for our students.
