- I understand that the hotspot can be checked out by an Elementary, Middle or High School student at Thorndale ISD.  All students must have a signed Wi-Fi Hotspot Internet Access Agreement on file before a hotspot can be checked out.  

- I understand that a hotspot can be checked out based on availability. During this time Hotspots may be checked out from the Technology department.

- I understand hotspots may be checked out on Mondays or Thursdays  and must be returned the following Monday or Thursday by 2nd period. Elementary will return to the TES office upon arrival to school and Middle and High School will return to the TMS office. WiFi hotspot devices will be checked out for 1 week at a time.

- I understand as a TMS or THS student, I need to complete the Google Form to request a hotspot by 12:00 P.M. on the day of check out.

- I understand that the hotspot runs on the Sprint/T-Mobile network and that the speed and availability of the Wi-Fi connection will be dependent on the service area of Sprint/T-Mobile towers.  Service connection is not guaranteed in all areas.

- I understand that the hotspot may be returned to the drop box in the TES or TMS office or it may be returned to Lindsay Franklin or Deby Leschber.  If I do not return the hotspot in good working condition with all included accessories (case, charging cable and charging cube), I will be charged the replacement cost of $25.
