Connectivity During School Building Closures with WiFi Hot Spot Lots WiFi Hot Spots Lots have been made available so students can maintain social distancing while accessing the internet safely from a vehicle. For health and safety as well as to provide the service to all who need it, we ask that anyone using the WiFi lot hot spots do the following:

● The closer to the building you are, the stronger the signal will be.
● Stay inside cars and remain on site only as long as necessary.
● Never leave children unattended in the vehicles.
● Code of conduct rules on campus are still in effect.

The District has set up WiFi Hot Spot Lot access for students with network credentials at Durhamville Elementary School and Oneida High School. Please see the images below for locations.
