Access to Technology and the Internet

Base stations for wireless internet access (hotspots) and laptops are available for student use. They can be checked out from our Technology Department. Please submit your request via this online survey: English / Spanish. Technology staff will contact families when devices are available for pickup. The preparation of devices may take up to 3 days.

Please be aware that due to a nationwide shortage of base stations for wireless internet access (hotspots), there might be a delay in getting these to students. We will provide more information when we have updated delivery estimates.

Please note that many companies have recognized the need for keeping our community connected and changed their plans and rules to provide expanded data options. Although the Bellevue School District is not affiliated with any of these companies and we have not vetted any of the offerings, more information can be found online:

Comcast | Comcast – Spanish | T-Mobile | AT&T | Verizon | Sprint

Network Security and Privacy

The Bellevue School District utilizes online security measures to protect the safety and security of all students. We understand this may create challenges for a few students, however, the policies and procedures are designed to safeguard our network and user accounts.

Using Personal Devices for Remote Learning

• If you are experiencing technical issues while accessing remote learning tools and resources from personal devices, we will do our best to provide support and to resolve your specific issue. We can provide tips and recommendations but cannot install software or change your settings. Students may checkout a laptop from the Technology Department.
• In accordance with the Student Technology Acceptable Use Procedure (2022P (PDF)), students are prohibited from attempting to conceal Internet activity and from attempting to bypass or evade techniques used to bypass filters. Students connecting to Office 365 on a personal device that uses software and/or hardware that obscures their location may be locked out of their account.
