Help Improve Internet Speeds in Our Community in Three Clicks
https://speed.measurementlab.net/#/
To help improve internet speeds across Wisconsin, the Department of Public Instruction is teaming up with Measurement Lab, a non-profit broadband advocacy organization, to test home internet connection speeds. You can help out by testing your home internet speed with Measurement Lab’s broadband speed test. All it takes is three clicks--it’s that easy.
Why Is This Important?
The data will give the Governor’s Task Force on Broadband Access (and other broadband task groups) the information they need to target improvements where internet speeds and performance are poor.
Your Input Is Critical
In order to get an accurate picture of the state, we need a lot of accurate data. That’s where you come in. The more people take the broadband internet speed test, the clearer picture we can get of where internet speeds need the most help.
To get started:
On a device connected to your home internet, click on the link to the M-Lab broadband speed test.
Agree to the Data Policy.
Click Begin to start the test.
Consider running the test multiple times, at different times of day, as your internet speed can often vary throughout the day.
Thank you for your help in improving internet speeds in our community!
Rhyming words are a very important part in learning to read. Pick words and ask your child to make another that might rhyme, keep it fun, nonsense words can add to the fun!

A few months ago a group of Bangor students, grades 6-12, participated in a virtual honors choir experience. Over the course of around 12 hours they rehearsed, did some bonding, learned about the voice and explored the music with discussions and even meeting with the composers of their songs, while preparing to record their portion of the concert. They all worked very hard and had to do a lot of it very independently. I am so proud of what they've accomplished with this. The concert just premiered on Youtube last night, so feel free to check it out!
