Two major internet service providers are offering free Wi-Fi nationwide as students across the country begin their first days of extended virtual learning.

Schools across Indiana began announcing closures last week to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus.

In Northwest Indiana, districts are implementing a combination of previously scheduled spring break time, eLearning days and state-approved waiver days to last through at least mid-April following Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidance to limit group meetings to no more than 10 people.

The Indiana Department of education is reporting Wednesday afternoon that all Indiana public schools have closed buildings, using either waiver days, eLearning or spring break.

About half of Indiana's K-12 school districts offer 1-to-1 technology for each student, Indiana Superintendent of Public Instruction Jennifer McCormick said last week, allowing some to take devices like Chromebooks home to continue studies.

Recognizing the barrier this sets for some low income families, Comcast and Spectrum have announced plans to offer free mobile hotspot access for public use for the next 60 days.

Comcast will also pause its data plans to all customers, extending to them free unlimited data access for no charge. Disconnected service and late fees will be waived for customers who contact Comcast during the 60-day period.

The Andover Public Schools summer reading program will look a little different this year! Working collaboratively, the middle school librarians and Memorial Hall teen librarians have come up with a list of suggested titles for incoming 6th, 7th, and 8th graders. Unlike past years, however, students will not be required to choose a title from these lists; instead, our hope is that students find time to read 20 minutes a day from any book they wish.

The reasons for the change this year are many; financial limitations on schools and the town library, unprecedented job loss equaling loss of income, as well as the difficulty of obtaining a physical book without purchasing it online and having it shipped are all factors that we considered. With that said, we know that some students and parents love having a curated list of books that we consider great at each of the grade levels. We'd love it if you chose one of them, more than one of them, a book from a list that's not your own grade level, or one completely of your own choosing!

We've included on this list books that we know are available for free through MHL on Overdrive, Hoopla, or Epic! Please check out Memorial Hall Library's instructions for APS families on how to get a public library card, download the Libby app to your device, and use their online reading platforms.

Also check out this letter from Joanna Ganci, ELA Department Head, to learn more about the importance of our summer reading program.
