Microsoft Office 365 is Free for FLVS Students
Courtesy of Microsoft, FLVS is offering our students a complete version of Office 365 at no cost!
As a valued FLVS student, you can log in to Educator and sign up for your free Office 365 subscription. If you're under 13, please note that your parent must register you.
With Office 365, you will have access to the latest version of Word (for writing), Excel (for spreadsheets), PowerPoint (for presentations), OneNote (for organization and note-taking), and more! You can install Office 365 on up to five compatible PCs and Macs - plus five tablets, including iPad.
Your Office subscription lasts as long as you are a student with FLVS!
