Welcome to Biology Room 2146. My name is Mr. Ramirez and I created this website to help both students and parents throughout the school year. High School may seem overwhelming at times. However, it is important to keep up with the material. This course will be rigorous and academically challenging as it will prepare Pre-AP biology students for AP biology.
Take advantage of this site to preview topics that will be covered in class, review notes, check important due dates, and download rubrics. Below, you will also find information about grading and textbooks. If any student or parent has any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me anytime.

Late Work: is NOT acceptable!! However, students will be allowed to turn-in assignments late with an attached late work form signed by a parent. Remember, class work and homework reinforce learning on current topics being covered and should be completed by due dates in order to be effective. Failure to turn-in assignments impedes class progression and interrupts the education process.
Required Materials:
