Tower Wi-Fi Initiative
This year’s Tower Initiative will take learning in the District to the next level by funding the infrastructure for "Wi-Fi" to students in grades 4-12 in the Elementary and Secondary Schools. The widespread availability of "Wi-Fi" access in Manhasset schools starting in the 2011-2012 academic year will enhance the educational experience of students throughout the District. It will also ensure that Manhasset schools incorporate the same state-of-the art teaching tools in the curriculum as other top-ranked districts on Long Island and in New York State. Children in Manhasset have always been a priority and the Tower Foundation believes that the Wi-Fi Initiative will continue this Manhasset tradition in the years to come.
"The greatest immediate benefit of Wi-Fi will be the ability to meet current demand. The computer labs are booked to capacity and demand far outweighs supply. With Wi-Fi, access will become available through mobile laptop carts (COWs) which will provide an entire classroom with access to research and/or writing assignments even when they cannot obtain lab time."
