Affordable Internet for Families with Students in the Crisp County School System and Other Qualifying Families The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP https://gta.georgia.gov/news/2023-05-19/georgia-technology-authority-launches-statewide-initiative-increase-affordable?ct=t(acpactnowGA_051923_cities)) is a federal benefit that aims to provide eligible households with a $30/month discount on their home Internet bill. In addition, the benefit provides a one-time $100 discount toward a connected device through a participating provider. We are committed to closing the broadband affordability gap so that every resident has equal access to the digital age opportunities. A household is eligible if one member of the household meets at least one of the criteria below: ● Has an income that is at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines (https://aspe.hhs.gov/poverty-guidelines) ● Participates in certain assistance programs, such as SNAP, Medicaid, Federal Public Housing Assistance, SSI, WIC, or Lifeline ● Is approved to receive benefits under the free and reduced-price school lunch program or the school breakfast program, including through the USDA Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) ● Received a Federal Pell Grant during the current award year ● Meets the eligibility criteria for a participating broadband provider’s existing low-income program ● Participates in one of several Tribal specific programs, such as Bureau of Indian Affairs General Assistance, Tribal Head Start (only households meeting the relevant income qualifying standard), Tribal TANF, or Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations. To get started, households can visit https://www.GetACP.org, EducationSuperHighway’s pre-enrollment tool to see if they qualify, what documents they will need at the time of application, and to see a list of “free with ACP” home internet plans.

As of now, our buses will run their normal times, and for the safety of our younger students, PreK -5, please help encourage them to stay safe and indoors after getting off their bus during this inclement weather.

Currently, we are working with our partners in the Crisp County Emergency Management Agency to monitor Ian’s track and prepare for any potential impact it could have on this community. Officials with the National Hurricane Center and the Emergency Management Agency have said that this storm is particularly unpredictable and that projections of landfall location and intensity are likely to change in the next several hours. Please trust that we are keeping the safety and well-being of your children as our focus as we weigh options for school later this week. We will provide an update as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience.

Parents and students: It has come to our attention that a lot of inappropriate behavior has been happening on social media that can negatively impact our day-to-day operations as well as severely distract students from their educational focus. Please monitor your child’s social media activity to help prevent misbehavior and/or possible bullying. Thank you for your help and if you need further assistance please let us know how we can help. Once a Cougar, Always a Cougar…How sweet it is!
