If you genuinely believed the teacher was authorized to let you use the school's WiFi, then I don't believe you committed a crime. But if you knew you didn't have permission and that the teacher was just enabling you to do something you weren't allowed to do, then you might have.
I have no idea what your school's code of conduct says or what you may have signed. But these documents don't have to specifically mention WiFi access. Instead, they could mention a more general principle of which this is a specific example.
