Coronavirus: Centerville schools offering WiFi hotspots to students with no internet access

Centerville schools are setting up Wifi hotspots for students who do not have access to the internet.

The move comes as schools throughout the state of Ohio are closed and students are forced to do school work from home to help prevent the spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus.

Centerville Schools said if students do not have access to internet, to contact their principal by email or phone for assistance.

Also, as students are cooped up at home and unable to visit with friends, a school counselor with Weller Elementary hosted a ‘virtual lunch’ with students Tuesday afternoon.

Nick Seuch was joined by 30 students on Google Meet, where they all got to catch up with friends.

The school system says this is just one way their staff is providing academic, social, and emotional support to their students during this time.
