Springfield Public Schools has partnered with the nonprofit organization, EducationSuperHighway on an outreach initiative to make you aware of the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP). This federal government program provides:

• up to $30 a month as a discount on Internet service, and
  
• a one-time, up to $100 discount for a connected device (such as a laptop,

desktop computer, or tablet) purchased through a participating provider.

Internet access has become an important part of fully participating in school and we want to make sure that your student  has reliable, affordable access at home. As your student attends a school within Springfield Public Schools during the current 2021-2022 academic year, your household is eligible to receive the ACP benefit. Springfield Public Schools participates in the federal Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) which automatically makes you eligible.

If you are interested in applying for this benefit you can find more information and apply online at ACPbenefit.org. Additionally you can contact the PACE Center between the hours of 8am - 4pm Monday through Friday at 413-787-6959 or contact our partners EducationSuperHighway using their contact form at: educationsuperhighway.org/acpbenefit for help applying.

Your student’s report card can be uploaded during the application process to prove eligibility for the Affordable Connectivity Program benefit.

Thank you for your continued support of Springfield Public Schools and we are here to support you regarding the ACP benefit as well as any other concern you may have.
