Punctuality is important in AP Biology. Every lesson builds on the material from the previous day, and missing even a small part of class can cause you to fall behind. This section outlines the tardy policy, which stresses the importance of arriving on time for every class session. While we understand that occasionally things happen, chronic tardiness can disrupt your learning and that of others. If you are late, it’s your responsibility to catch up on missed material, whether by checking the class website, asking a classmate, or reviewing the lesson independently. Please be mindful of the time, and remember that arriving on time ensures you don’t miss important content and provides respect for the learning environment.
