LEARNING EXPRESS LIBRARY
ATTENTION PARENTS AND STUDENTS!
We have Learning Express Library back up and running! Students if you haven't used
this, it is a great test prep/skills program. Learning Express Library has
practice tests for ACT, AP Bio, AP Govt, PSAT, SAT, GED, etc. as well as all
kinds of skills practice in the areas of logic and reasoning, math, reading
comprehension, statistics, trigonometry, vocabulary, spelling, writing and grammar. For
those students who will be taking career- oriented tests such as EMT, culinary,
cosmetology, firefighting, (and multiple others) there are also practice tests
in those areas.
Parents we encourage you to have your child to take advantage of this online program. Students must set up
their initial account from a school computer, but once that is completed, they
can access this program from their home computer or any open source computer. Juniors and Seniors, with the ACT coming up this would be a great
time to get into to a computer lab to set up your account. It only takes a couple of minutes to do so. Contact Mrs. Willis in media center for more information.
Once you have an account you may gain access by going to the high school website, then click on student
information, then on research links. Learning Express Library can be accessed from
there.
