GRADE NINE

Students are expected to come to the first day of class fully prepared with all required texts. Please order all your texts early.

Note:  You may wish to purchase used books from last year’s students.  When ordering General Studies textbooks online, make sure the ISBN number (or ASIN –Amazon Standard Identification Number) is accurate so you get the correct edition.  Try both www.amazon.com and www.barnesandnoble.com.  Prices are not always uniform.  Do not go into shock – many textbooks are very expensive but used books are very economical.  Also try: half.com/textbooks or E-Bay. There is a frum textbook company “Textbook Agency” which you can try 800-910-1230.

If you want to try to buy textbooks from present ninth graders, please email office@mbyla.org and we will post it on bulletin board.
