Grade 7

  • All supplies should be labeled with student’s first and last name.
  • Each student should have enough supplies to last for the duration of the school year.
  • Only students enrolled in the native, or advanced level Portuguese should buy Portuguese books. Interview/testing for placement into a level of Portuguese will take place during New Student Orientation. These books and dictionaries can be bought locally after placement. 
  • We recommend that you purchase your books through Livro Fácil, our school book store. However, students can purchase their books on their own, except those units that provide multiple book choices.  Please pay careful attention to the ISBN Number to ensure you get the same copy/edition as all other students.

Books
Humanities:
Due to the nature of the curriculum, some Humanities units in 7th Grade have a choice of books. Students are assigned a book by the teacher.  We recommend that all 7th Grade Humanities books be purchased through our on-campus bookstore, Livro Fácil, since students will not know their book choices until they begin each unit.
