Common use of Home Internet Access Clause in Contracts

Home Internet Access. The Common Core Standards are calling upon students to think more and create more. A number of forces are conspiring to open up the classroom, integrate schooling with the larger world, and personalize education to students’ individual needs, abilities, and interests. Digital technology is blending face-to-face instruction with personalized online learning that a textbook alone cannot give. Although most OSSD courses are outfitted with a designated textbook, many of our teachers guide student learning with electronic resources. OSSD is sensitive to the fact that all students do not have internet access at home and that it is necessary to accommodate all students. Therefore, please indicate by clicking Yes or No whether or not your student has access to the internet at home so that teachers may provide alternate resources if necessary.
