Gates hopes you make their site a daily part of your learning curriculum and that you will visit often.
The "Tools for Schools" program is made up of three components: (1) "Tools for Schools" website where all elements of the program can be found; (2) "Tools for Schools" Performance Center eLearning for your students contains a wealth of informative content and tests each student's ability to retain and understand via an exclusive training quiz found at the end of each segment; and, (3) "Tools for Schools" "Free" tool program. A program designed to reward the school for using the eLearning tool and using Gates products. Schools can earn Gates diagnostic and installation tools by accumulating points based on program participation.

Test license expiration date: Assessment tests may be administered anytime after purchase up until July 31. Unused test licenses are not refundable and cannot be carried over to the following school year or transferred to another assessment area.
Online grade report access expires on July 31st. Grade reports can be downloaded into Excel and saved to your hard drive for future use by clicking the export button in the grade report.
