Waukegan Public Schools is excited to announce that we are launching drive-up WiFi service at several of our school parking lots. We understand many individuals may lack reliable high speed internet at home. This new service will allow all students and staff to visit any of the schools listed below to connect to the WiFi from your vehicles.
You find a complete list of 16 available schools below. Please note the highlighted areas in green, which show the designated parking spaces for students and staff to receive the best WiFi signal at each building.
This service is for staff and student use only. Please be aware that the WPS60 WiFi network is not open to the public. Only student Chromebooks or District laptops will be able to connect to the WiFi. Students and staff will be able to access the WiFi from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. each day.
Please see the WiFi instructions for students and staff at the bottom. Staff may need to re-authenticate your district account to connect to the WiFi.
