7th+Biology

Welcome to 7th grade biology! We will be using this website throughout the year and you will be expected to keep up with the assignments. All papers will be handed out in class and you are responsible to print out additional copies if you lose any. **What is said in class supercedes this calendar. All grade 7 classes will operate on a day 1 and 2 schedule.** The first day of your class is day one and the second day is day 2.
