We are happy to report that we now have four of our schools with restored Internet: Hamden High School, Hamden Middle School, Wintergreen School (which contains Alice Peck Learning Center and HCLC) and Church Street School. We hope to have the remaining elementary schools connected in the next two weeks.
This has been a long process, but our Network will be stronger than ever as a result. We are deeply appreciative of the patience of our parents, students and staff, who have now learned a new skill: How to live without much technology. :-)
