Instructional Materials
Parents, students and the ES work together to choose instructional materials that meets Oregon state standards and is directly linked to the courses in the student's current Personalized Learning Plan. All instructional materials must be non-sectarian. Non-consumable materials must be returned as courses are completed, at the end of the school year, or upon withdrawal from the school.
Paying for instructional materials
Upon enrollment, students are designated an allotment of educational units (EUs) to use for instructional materials. Each educational unit (EU) is equal to one dollar. EUs can be spent on core and supplemental materials, outside activities as outlined below, campus classes, laptop computer rental, approved community classes, and school supplies that are directly linked to the courses in the student's current Personalized Learning Plan. Families may use 2/3 of their total EUs during the first semester and the remainder thereafter until early May.
At the beginning of the school year, EUs are assigned as follows:
Kindergarten: 250
1st - 6th grades: 500
7th & 8th grades: 750
High school: 1,000
Families that register after the start of the school year are assigned EUs on a prorated basis.
Instructional materials
Core materials are the textbooks, literature and trade books, workbooks, online curriculum, or a combination of one or more that are the foundation of a grade level course.

Either way, your ES can explain the numerous options at Logos.
