The San Juan School District’s (SJSD) subcontractors will be out in the field, at people's homes, for the rest of December. They will install radios and power outlets on your home. This will make it so your scholar can receive SJSD’s LAN network. It will make access to Broadcasts, email, and Canvas possible way better than the hot spot! The subcontractors will be installing a small radio on top of your house to receive the signal from tower locations. They will also install a small AP inside the house to provide the WIFI signal to the student’s Chromebooks.
This network will be for all students of K-12 and also higher education. The subcontractors that will be installing your equipment will be from various companies and may not be full time SJSD employees. We are attempting to reach every scholar. If you find that radios are being installed on your neighbor’s home and not yours, please feel free to talk to the installers to make sure we have you on our list. Thank you so much for your support in this effort to keep our children safe and educated!
Please expect workers to show up soon!
