In AP Biology, we want to create a focused and immersive learning environment where your attention is fully dedicated to the material at hand. This means that, unless specifically required for an activity, cellphones should be kept out of sight during class. We understand that there may be times when you need to use your phone for educational purposes, such as accessing class resources or conducting research, and in those cases, we’ll allow it. However, outside of those instances, phones should be put away to avoid distractions. This policy helps ensure that you remain engaged and focused on the subject matter, and it allows us all to make the most of our valuable class time.
