Internet Connectivity Options

Mt. Vernon recognizes that it is important in helping our students stay connected through the Internet to complete assignments and stay in touch with teachers.  If you do not have Internet access we have provided below some resources that families might be able to take advantage of:

Outdoor Student/Public WifI is now Available!

• MVCSC has expanded the filtered school wifi  into the Mt. Vernon High School, McCordsville Elementary, and the Mt. Comfort Elementary parking lots.
• Click on the School Name (above) to see a map and location area to connect for access.
• It will be accessible from 7 a.m. - 9 p.m. seven days a week.
• The wifi name is MV_Ninestar, and the password is also MV_Ninestar (it is case sensitive).
• MVCSC would like to send a special thank you to Ninestar for helping our MV families with this access!
• We ask that you do not leave your car and keep social distancing in place while on school property.
