Internet Access Resources

Rockfi GraphicThe Rock Island-Milan School District set up several Internet Homework Hotspots at every school building (including the former Intermediate Academy/Lincoln School) AND throughout the school district’s boundary area to help students connect to the Internet during Remote Learning. The network, ROCKfi (Reaching Our Community's Kids with fidelity), will allow RIMSD #41 students to connect through their school district-issued Chromebook, or personal device.
 
ROCKfi does not replace home internet. It supports students to access instructional materials and live lessons through their district provided accounts. ROCKfi does not provide for any other home internet needs.
