That is beyond generous of you ♥ From a quick look at things this would involve having a phone contract (outside of Lifeline) and a data plan, so probably wouldn't work under the circumstances, or possibly at all in the boonies where I have to go to the main road to get a signal, but I will ask around a bit — to be better informed if nought else!

In any case, thank you so much for making the offer. It sounds like a cool program your school has!

You're so welcome at any time, so if it turns out this is something that's doable, let me know. I'm one of the lucky ones--I'm teaching on an eLearning platform from home now, and my husband is an "essential worker" at a grocery store, so while I spend a LOT of time worrying for his health, we are in no financial difficulties, unlike so many, many people. I just want to do what I can, you know?

My school was definitely prescient (unintentionally) in going one-to-one some years ago, so we've been in a good position to switch from traditional classroom to online learning. That makes it sound like it was easy--it was not--but we were in a position to be able to provide students without internet access the access they'd need to keep learning. I fully recognize how blessed we are as a school community because there are schools right here in our area that are not able to help their students in the same way we have.
