Kajeet Hotspots for 6-12

Kajeet Hotspot 3-day Checkout for 6-12 Students 
We are excited that we received a grant that allows us to offer students the opportunity to check out Kajeet wireless hotspots. The devices have a three -day loan period and students can check them out if they have a permission form signed and submitted to the LMC. The purpose of the program is to ensure that all students are able to do homework and projects that require Internet use. 


The Kajeet Hotspots do come with pre-configured filters that limit their use to educational resources. Streaming media (YouTube, Netflix, Hulu, Spotify, and Pandora) and social media (Facebook, Snapchat, Twitter, Instagram) are blocked by Kajeet and the filter cannot be customized by the district. 

In addition, Kajeet has time-of-day controls that restrict access from 11:00pm - 6:00am so that students have appropriate time for sleep.

We are committed to providing access to technology for all students. If you have any questions about the program, please contact Katie Krueger or the Library Media Center.
