Free Online Books using MyOn Digital Library

From December 1, 2021, to January 31, 2022, any California student can benefit from access to thousands of myON books in English and Spanish. Students can easily browse or search the digital library to find books to match their interests and grade level. There are also options for students to read books online or offline, even in low-bandwidth environments. 

 

Go to: www.myon.com and click on the purple myON Login button:

Enter the following information on the login screen:

Click the green Sign In button, select a book from the Library or an article from News, and start reading!

 

Having looked at the website - once you get in, the best place to start for fiction is the Genres button on the top middle.

Then you can click what type of books you want to download. The books are listed by age level. So when you open up Genres and pick one, you will see little kid books.  Keep scrolling down, through the middle school books, and the ones at the bottom are more high school books.  That said, there is nothing wrong with reading little kid books or middle school books. They also have a ton of graphic novels that tend to be located between the middle and high school books.

The 22-23 Federal Student Aid Application or FAFSA  is now open! Below is information  on the FAFSA.

Charlotte Achen sent all Seniors an email with a ton of information on FASFA.  

Things such as What is FASFA? Why is it important I apply? What do I need to do? What are the deadlines? Where can I find the application?
