Anatomy and Physiology

Student Expectations

Attendance: Students are expected to arrive to the classroom on time and be seated in their seat when the bell rings.

Assignment Expectations: Students are expected to turn in their assignments whether on paper or virtual by the given due date in order to receive full credit

Late Work Policy: Students may turn in assignments for the current unit up until the day we take the assessment for that unit.

Re-Take Policy: Students may retake any quizzes that were given throughout the unit up until the day before we take the assessment for that unit: In addition, a student may retake a unit assessment up until the time we take the assessment for the following unit. However, in order to retake the unit assessment the student must have no missing work for that unit.

I am quite flexible on when these quizzes/assessments can be redone and the student simply needs to talk to me or email me so we can set up a time either before or after school that works with all of our schedules.

What to Expect from Me

If you call and leave me a message on my school phone (816-650-7070) or email (tbarker@fortosage.net) I will be in touch within 24 hours.
