Dear Parent/Guardian of Hyannis West Students:

Prezados pais/responsáveis dos alunos da escola Hyannis West:

We know that many students and their families depend on the Internet, whether at school, or at home, so they can do homework, search for jobs, access financial or government services, enjoy social networking, email and much more. Having the Internet at home is critical to ensuring that your child can stay connected to online assignments, classmates and teachers.

We want to make sure that you know about a low-cost home Internet service called Internet Essentials SM by Comcast. If you have at least one child eligible to participate in the National School Lunch Program, your family may qualify* for affordable home Internet service for just $9.95 per month (plus tax). For participating families, there are no price increases, no activation fees or equipment rental fees. Additionally, you can buy a low-cost laptop or desktop computer for just $149.99 (plus tax) and receive free Internet training — online, in print and in person.

Now for the really good news! It’s even easier and faster for your family to get connected to Internet Essentials because HYANNIS WEST ELEMENTARY has a streamlined enrollment process. Call the number below, or apply online at InternetEssentials.com. You’ll need to provide your contact information and the name of this school. That’s it. No other documentation is necessary, and if you meet all the other eligibility criteria, you will be pre-approved, and receive your equipment, device and instructions to setup and begin using your service within three to five days.

More than 300,000 families across the country have been connected to the Internet at home through Internet Essentials, and we hope that you consider taking advantage of this great opportunity. To learn more, or to apply, visit InternetEssentials.com or call 1-855-8-INTERNET (1-855-846-8376).

Sincerely,
Kathi Amato
