Textbooks
Most classes use online textbooks or no textbook. Exceptions that I’m aware of, so far:
- Geometry textbook required
- Math 6/7/8 workbooks distributed.
- Algebra textbook is available, but not required, and that the page numbers do not match the electronic version to which students already have access.
- World History and U.S. History textbooks are online, but optional print version is available by request.
- Drama class scripts.
If your teacher needs to distribute a print textbook or other materials, they will let me know.
