Welcome Students & Parents!
For English I and English I Honors, students will also need the following supplies:

Online Textbook
We have a free online version of our Elements of Literature textbook available for students to use wherever they have internet access. Students are encouraged to keep their textbooks at school (stored in their lockers) and use the online textbook outside of school. This prevents them from leaving their books at home when they need them in class and cuts down on losing or misplacing them. Students will receive an individual student username and password to use to access the online text. More information will be sent home shortly.
