WRITTEN ASSIGNMENT FAQs
1) WHERE CAN MY STUDENT OBTAIN A COPY OF THE BOOK?
Students may check out the summer reading books from their English teacher at the end of the school year prior to summer vacation. They may also order their own copy of the book from Amazon, purchase it from Barnes & Noble, or check it out from the public library.
2) WHEN DOES MY STUDENT RECEIVE THEIR WRITTEN ASSIGNMENT?
Students will receive their assignments prior to summer break or immediately upon returning to school for the following school year. Some courses have Google classrooms where the assignments are posted. Students may obtain the code for the Google Classrooms before the end of the school year or they may email the teacher for the course code.
3) IF MY STUDENT ACCIDENTALLY MISPLACED THIS WRITTEN ASSIGNMENT SHEET, CAN THEY GET A REPLACEMENT?
Yes, they can obtain an additional copy by logging into the specific Google classroom for that course or by emailing the specific teacher who teaches the course. If the teacher does not respond within a week, email department chairs Megan Twietmeyer (mtwietmeyer@sb.school) or Amy Elliott (aelliott@sb.school).
