(CNN)A fourth-grader in Roswell, New Mexico, has been walking to his shuttered elementary school to do his classwork over the building’s WiFi because he didn’t have internet access at home.
Schools in the Roswell Independent School District have been conducting classes online because of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Where schools are reopening in the US
Angel Endecott says her son Jonathon turns 10 next month and is a very independent child. They live near the school, and Jonathon walked to school and home last year, when school was in session.
Endecott, who works in home health, lost both of her jobs at one point because of Covid-19. She’s back at work at one of her jobs but wasn’t able to afford internet service.
She said her son was happy when she told him to go to the school to go online.
