Marine Science Class Calendar
Attention Students and Parents! This website is meant to be a resource for
you and to help you plan ahead for your week to come. I hope it helps! I
will update this page every couple of days to make sure it is as current as
possible. But students, please listen in class when assignments are given to
make sure no changes or adjustments have been made to this schedule.
Attention Absent Students: This class calendar is meant to be a resource for
students who are out sick so they can come back to school prepared. It is
not expected that you come to class with all of your make-up work completed, you
have one day to make work for each day of school you miss. For
example if you miss 2 days of school you have two days to make up the missing
work. But it is expected that if you are absent that you have checked
this page before coming into class so you will know what we did while you were
out and what you need to make up. And that way you will be able to
ask Julianne any questions you have about your missed work.
