PLEASE NOTE: It is recommended that before adults visit any Website with students that they independently examine the site for content. In rare cases, domain names are sold (without notice) to questionable enterprises.
Students can access the Internet at FRCS under the direct supervision of a teacher or staff member. The FRCS teacher/staff member must be present in the classroom and must grant permission for students to do so.
Students and families who cannot access the Internet outside of FRCS (or at their place of employment) should know that there are a variety of ways that individuals can access the Internet. Many communities across the country have established community networks to provide individuals with a local link to the Internet. These "free-nets" are often operated by a local library, town or non-profit community group. Please check with your local town/city hall. Additionally, students and families can access the Internet through most public libraries. Libraries offer patrons use of computers that are linked to the Internet. Individuals can also access the Internet by patronizing an increasing number of storefront "computer coffee shops or restaurants" where you can use computers provided by the shop (or your own computer) to access the Internet.
Of course students and families can access the Internet through commercially available "internet service providers" at home or "cellular/mobile providers" (like Verizon, AT & T, or Boost Mobile) anywhere in the world. For those that cannot subscribe to and/or afford the cost of high speed or mobile Internet access, many providers offer dial-up modem/telephone access to the Internet for a modest monthly or hourly fee. Certain ISPs offer free or very low cost access to the Internet. For example, NetZero offers free modem access to the Internet for up to 10 hours per month.
