  1. Welcome to Biology 10th Grade College Prep John Carambat Room 209

  2. Contacting John Carambat • Office Hours: In the morning, by appointment 7:20-7:45 am. • My phone #: 985-635-9606 • My email: johnc@stpauls.com • Biology website: www.clearidea.org

  3. This is a NEW COURSE!!! • The course of study will reflect Next Generation Science Standards. • Designed to prepare them to be successful in college and life! • Textbook - Biology, The Dynamics of Life, 2004 and 2012 • Much of the material is familiar, but with a focus on applying knowledge to solve human problems • Best advice – do the work, study for the tests, and it is EASY!

  4. Course Expectations • All details are outlined in the course syllabus that was given to your student on the first day of class. • Make-up Work: the student has the same number of days to make up the work as were missed by the absence. See me if there is a problem or concern. • NO LATE WORK WILL BE ACCEPTED!!! • Grades: labs, tests, projects (50%), quizzes, participation (15%), homework (15%), final exam (20%) *Categorical weighted, not total points*

  5. Homework: YES, there will be homework assigned throughout this course, usually on a DAILY BASIS. The assignments are to complete or reinforce the topics that were covered in class. **I will remind your student to write the homework down in his or her binder so you are aware of the assignments. The homework is ALWAYS listed on the board and on edline! Academic Dishonesty: I will follow the Student Agenda. I want them to succeed in life as well as class. .

  7. How Can YOU Help? • Attendance is essential for success! • Please encourage your student to seek help early, so “we” can solve the problem. I will contact you if your son needs our help. • Make sure your student has the necessary supplies: their Biology binder and textbook, paper, pencils, a quiet place to study. • Ask questions about your student’s day and encourage them to talk about the cool stuff they are learning. • Tutoring is available on campus

  8. Thank You • Thank you for sharing your son with us. • Saint Paul’s is an excellent place to grow up. With your help, we can make this year a great memory!
