PJUSD has the ability to offer internet connectivity at no cost to students at home that are in need of an internet connection for their education. The district can provide, based on location, two options of internet connectivity, a mobile hotspot or a connection to our district network, called the EduNet. Only district provided student Chromebooks will be allowed to connect to the EduNet, or a mobile hotspot. These devices are allowed to be used for educational purposes only.

The selection of what internet device your student will be receiving from the district is based on the distance from your home to the District’s EduNet equipment. The district will give priority to providing an Edunet Device first. If an EduNet device is not an option because you live outside the range of the EduNet antenna or the EduNet solution does not work at your home, you will be assigned a mobile hotspot if a T-Mobile signal is available at your home. Locations such as Dunnigan and Grimes currently do not have any EduNet signal available.

If an EduNet device is a valid option, a mobile hotspot will NOT be provided.

Please print the waiver form and fill it out then bring it into the Technology building at 954 Wildwood Rd. It is the building between Pierce High School and Johnson Junior High School.

A mobile hotspot is a device that has an internet connection provided by a telecom company such as Verizon or T-Mobile. PJUSD has standardized on mobile hotspots that use T-Mobile as a Telecom provider. Mobile hotspots will also be using the same web filtering as being used in the classroom, but are not directly connected to the district’s network. T-Mobile hotspots offered by PJUSD have a data limit of 100 Gigabyte per year. This is sufficient for school work throughout the year.

If an Edunet device is a valid option, a mobile hotspot will NOT be provided.

If your home does not qualify for an Edunet connection, we offer a Mobile hotspot as an alternative, if a T-Mobile signal is available at your home. Each student at the home that needs an internet connection, will need their own mobile hotspot assigned as the hotspot will only be linked to the Chromebook of the specified student. The following processes will have to be completed to receive a Mobile hotspot:

  • Contact the PJUSD IT Department for the hotspot option.
  • A PJUSD technician will assign and connect your student’s Chromebook to the mobile hotspot.
