We invite parents to use the links below to access teacher websites. On these websites, parents and students can find the course syllabi for individual courses. The syllabi are designed to provide parents and students with important information about courses, content knowledge to be learned, skill sets to be practiced, and possible course materials. Syllabi also include contact information for teachers.
We encourage parents and students to be informed about the courses offered in the English Department. For further information about our courses, please see the Course Catalog on the school's website. The Course Catalog includes course description information and credit earned for individual courses.

English Portfolios
As a part of our skills-based curriculum, the English Department uses portfolios to collect evidence of student progress in those skills. In each of our required courses (English 1, English 2, and English 3), students’ major projects, essays, and local assessments are placed into the English Portfolio to document progress and growth. Individual student portfolios are created during a student’s freshman year course. In the case of a transfer student, new students would create a portfolio during the first Oswego English course.
These portfolios are housed in the English Department Office and in English classrooms. Portfolios are available to students so they may reflect on their progress and set educational goals; faculty may also use them to guide instruction and to make placement recommendations. Student portfolios are available upon student or parent request for at-home reflection. Once a student graduates or transfers, that student may keep the English Portfolio
