Honors English

Welcome

Welcome to Honors English 6/7/8. We are excited that you have taken the initiative to choose a more rigorous path for your education. Honors English students are expected to discuss literature thoughtfully, to read voraciously, to write willingly, and to present confidently. Most importantly, honors English students should have a genuine love for reading and writing.

Thank you in advance for committing to:

Assigned reading outside of class time

Completing all assignments on time

A higher volume of reading, writing, and homework

Two or more hours of independent reading a week

Honors Placement

Honors English placement will be determined through multiple measures including, but not limited to, SBAC scores, CUSD Common Assessments, and STAR Reading scores. Parents and students will be notified of honors placement via email and U.S. mail. In addition, directions will be provided for the option to opt-out.

Summer Reading
