The booklist has the books that will be used for each course. Important Note: Books may have the same title, but different ISBN numbers. The ISBN numbers listed on the booklist are the ones used in class. Only purchase books for the ISBN numbers listed to ensure it is the correct version of the book (i.e., correct page numbers and material). Please also review any notes listed on the spreadsheet along with the textbooks for information that should be considered when ordering your books.
***Workbooks must be new. Teachers have encountered many problems with missing and marked pages in used workbooks. This only involves workbooks! Used textbooks can still be purchased***
