Course Description
Literally, Biology means the study of life. Our biology students will study what living organisms are, and
the organisms similarities and differences. Our students will investigate how all living organisms interact
with each other and their environment. The students will also learn how scientists work, the scientific
method, so that they could look at a problem objectively, and make intelligent decisions concerning
biological issues.

Lab Fees
The student will be responsible for paying a $10.00 fee per year.
Turning in Work
It is not the teachers responsibility to remind students to turn in work.
I do not count off for late work. However, a zero will be given in the grade book for that
assignment until the work is turned in. If the work is never turned in, the 0 will remain in
the grade book as a final grade for that assignment.
Make up Work
It is not the teachers responsibility to remind students that they need to make up work.
When a student is absent, it is their responsibility to check with the teacher for makeup work and due
dates for the work. This should be done the day the student returns.
Discipline
Most problems will generally be handled by communication between the teacher, the student, and
the parents.
If the student persists with inappropriate behavior after counseling, referral to their assistant principal
will follow.
Problems that result in immediate referral to an assistant principal, lowering of conduct grade and
parent contact are:
Cheating will result in a zero for all parties involved without the opportunity for make-up.
Profanity
Violence
