I will be your child's Biology teacher this year. Your child will study a variety of life processes and learn how different organisms meet the challenges of living in their environment. Please review my class syllabus to stay updated on class expectations, assignments (Google Classroom), and how to contact me for parent teacher conferences or to schedule tutoring sessions.

Your student will submit all assignments in Google Classroom. To access Google Classroom, please click here, click on Google Classroom, and click on your block.

Also, please review the pacing guide for this course to see what your child will be learning in Biology each week.

Be responsible for getting the work they miss due to absences. To get this work you need to SEE ME—the TEACHER as your assignment will be based on your needs not the needs of another student.

Come to class ready to learn.

Cell Phones

My classroom is a default red zone. Students may ONLY have their phones out during the first 2 minutes of class. After that, phones should be silenced and put away. Phones will be confiscated for the rest of the class period if they are taken back out without EXPLICIT permission from the teacher. Confiscated phones will be returned at the end of the class period. Students who habitually have their phones out during class will face the consequences outlined in the Code of Conduct.
