School Resources
Reagan High School has a number of student resources that are presented to the students to use. One very important to student learning is the Student Learning Community. The Student Learning Community is an internet resource that the majority of students use to access class information and powerpoints posted online from teachers. This web program allows students to discuss the classes topic and review important information in the class. It is heavily used by teachers and is very useful to students.
The school library is headed by Librarian Ms. P. Nordvall and contains all of the schools textbooks with additional school items like calculators and films etc. Each student has to present a school I.D. to "checkout" a library item. The library also offers a variety of books non-related to school texts in which a student has to go through the same checkout procedure. The Reagan Library allows students to come in during study halls and other freetime blocks to work on school work and projects, as long as a pass was given.
Reagan has a number of computers and laptops at the disposal of students. As powerpoints and smartboards are Reagan's main use for teaching, computers are much needed at the school. Depending on a teacher's topic, the instructor may checkout laptops in which they give them to students in class. There are also computers in the school library that are ready for the students, but only if an instructor hasn't reserved the library for a block. The school's resource room also has a number of computers, but they are mainly reserved for IEP students. The schools computer lab is free as well, but you have to have a pass for use of the computer. Most of the time, the lab is occupied by study hall students.

Famous quotes containing the words school and/or resources:
“Love goes toward love as schoolboys from their books,
But love from love, toward school with heavy looks.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“But, with whatever exception, it is still true that tradition characterizes the preaching of this country; that it comes out of the memory, and not out of the soul; that it aims at what is usual, and not at what is necessary and eternal; that thus historical Christianity destroys the power of preaching, by withdrawing it from the exploration of the moral nature of man; where the sublime is, where are the resources of astonishment and power.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
