We Make Ordering Books Easy

Pegasus has simplified the process of purchasing most textbooks through Follett Virtual Campus (FVC) online bookstore. Parents can order books for the 2018-19 school year through FVC. Some required books will be offered either as a digital (e-book) or print book; others will be offered in both formats. Please check with your student to confirm what version(s) she or he prefers.

Recommendations:
  • Use a computer or laptop when navigating and purchasing through the FVC site.
  • Use your student's iPad or MacBook to download any iBooks.
  • Review each grade level book list and item notes provided on the website carefully before placing an order. See "Downloads" for printer-friendly lists.

*Note: Seventh and eighth graders have the option to either bring a MacBook to school or continue to use their iPads.

Please Read before placing order

Before placing an order on the FVC website, please click on each course below your student's grade level to expand the menu of the books required.
