Welcome to Tom's Marine Biology Course!

It is now official, the course will offer the PBAT assignment, instructions, revisions, and presentation support throughout October, November and December. PBAT presentations will happen in January.

All students, (including students who need the PBAT) will be required to meet all the challenging tasks ahead of us this semester. Passing the PBAT does not equate to passing the class. However, if you are failing the class, you cannot present the PBAT.

Talk to Tom if you have questions about the course, or the PBAT.

Tom's afterschool days will be Mondays at 3:30pm.
He will also be available Tuesdays at 4:45pm (he has a meeting right after school.)
He is also also available Tuesday and Wednesday mornings at 8:00am.
