Hello, Bio students.

All of your assignments can be found on TEAMS except for 6th Period.  There is a glitch and my 6th period class hasn't loaded yet.  DCPS is working on it!  Until then, you can find your assignments here:

This week's assignments are on USA Test Prep under Biology EOC.  You are no longer prepping for the State EOC, but you are prepping for an end of the year exam made by me!
All work for this week will be done on the Test Prep website.  It is my understanding that you have been using this website for your ELA classes so you are familiar with how to log in. However, if you do not know your log-in and password, just let me know and I'll send it to you.
You will have to join my class.  Click on the orange link:  Join A Class. Then choose me and 6th period from the 2 drop down boxes.
   
ALL WORK IS DUE BY FRIDAY AT 3 P.M.  I will not accept late work.
These assignments will count as your Weekly Average for Week 9.  
To get to USA Test Prep click on this link.

Email me at singletonj@duvalschools.org or text me at 904-419-9175 with any questions.

Stay healthy,
Mrs. Singleton
