Summer Reading!
Students, before summer kicks in and the end of the year is upon us, remember you have summer reading for the next school year. CLICK HERE for the summer reading folder. Please also take a look at the Common Types of Plagiarism document in the folder from the University of Arizona so you can avoid falling into any of the pitfalls.
Also, if you have any assigned novels or books that you purchased for this year that you don't need again, please consider donating them to the English teachers so they can have them on hand for students who need them next year.
