All Garland Elementary and Middle schools are now using the AR Enterprise website. Schools will help students find their reading range. Students can then use the AR website to check titles for reading ranges, and all other AR information for every book for which there is an available test. All schools have all tests available to them. The Nicholson Library may not have all the AR books found and does not have any of the tests.
