Perkiomen Valley School District is pleased to offer free hotspots to families without internet access in the home as a way to support our anywhere/anytime learning. Through a generous donation, we are making hotspots available to families so that all students can take advantage of the anywhere/anytime learning model.
A hotspot is a handheld device that provides wireless network connection to other devices — such as a phone, computer, or Chromebook — so they can access the internet.
Free hotspots will be given to families based on income and/or need, and availability of devices (limited quantities are available). If your family qualifies for the Free or Reduced Lunch program, you may complete this form and attach your notification letter as proof of need. If you do not qualify for the Free or Reduced Lunch program, please complete the form and be sure to fill out the section that requests a brief summary of why you are requesting assistance. All information will remain confidential.

This offering is intended to benefit our economically disadvantaged families who do not have internet at home. If you believe you are in need, please complete our form and return it to the main office if your child is in elementary school, or return it to the counseling center if your child is in middle school or high school.
No. The intended purpose of this device is to be used only at home. Internet access is readily available in our schools for students.
Please notify the building principal if the device is lost or stolen.
If the device is damaged, the student can bring it to the Chromebook Service Center at the secondary buildings or to the main office at the elementary schools and a replacement will be issued.
