- If you see “message” in yellow on your home page of USA Learns, then click on it to read your message. This is where you find the teacher’s correction of your writing.
- Students in Course Two need to do the writing activity again if they receive no score or a score less than 80%. Students in Course 2 need to get 80% in all activities. Students in Course 3 need to get 90% in all the activities.
- Please note: Margaret Lanen’s name appears on all messages and as teacher of all courses. Your teacher may be Margaret Lanen, Margaret McLaughlin, or Patricia Drake.
If you can't do the 'Say It' activities
Sometimes you can’t complete the “Say It” activities because you need a program called Flash. If this happens, you can get it. For computers, click here. For tablets, search the AppStore or PlayStore for “Gaming browser” or “Flash browser” app. If that does not work, you can click “next’ at the bottom right of the 'Say It' screen. Continue to click “next” through all the “Say it” activities and the blue box will be filled.

Requirements to stay in class
You should complete at least one unit in Course 2 or two units in Course 1 each month. If you do not complete a unit in two months you will be marked inactive. You must meet with the coach within the following month, if you want to stay in the class. After three months, you will be removed from the class and your teacher will not see your work. USA Learns removes students who are not active for 6 months.
