WELCOME TO MY CLASSES!

Hello class of 2023 and 2024!

My name is Jane Ellis, and I teach AP Biology and Environmental Systems I LOVE science and can't wait to share that with you! I come from a science background. I graduated from LSU with a degree in Cellular and Molecular Biology. I was a biomedical researcher at the University of Arkansas, Louisana State University, and UTMB in Galveston. I have studied everything from rice rust, to genetically engineering crops to deter pests, developmental biology, virology, prostate cancer, and Ebola. Both AP Biology and Environmental Systems are quickly paced classes. 

We have a had a difficult couple of years. Hopefully we will be able to use a few safety measures to have a normal school year.  Masks are recommended if Covid numbers are up. Both AP Biology and Environmental Systems are quickly paced classes.We use Google Classroom every day.  Please download the free app. The codes for Google Classrooms  are listed in the Codes tab.

I am also the sponsor for the Science National Honor Society. I will be posting more information about that after school begins. There are requirements, like overall GPA, science GPA, and number of AP science courses. If you are interested and are an AP science student, please look for upcoming messages about how to join.

I am looking forward to meeting you all. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions by the Contact tab. Please look at the other tabs for weekly instructional calendar, Classroom codes, bell schedule, syllabi for both classes, A/B calendar, Galena Park ISD calendar, and North Shore Senior High calendar.
