Biology: "bios" means "living" and "logos" means "the study of", so we get "the study of life"!

REMIND101.COM: Important text message reminders from Mr. Zahm, about class.

To Students & Parents, THIS IS THE BEST/QUICKEST way to find out what is going on in class, when you're //outside// of class: CHANGES, ADDITIONS, EVEN DOCUMENTS LIKE REVIEW ANSWERS. (I'll use your district Gmail, also. With text messaging, though, more people are set up to get it to their phones.)

To get these reminders: ** TEXT @ **** 78467h (or 484-240-2599)** ** to the number 81010. **

You'll get a text that WILL ask for your full name - give first name and last initial. (That way I know who is subscribed - it's free.)
 * I will NOT know your cell phone #.** **And, you can't send messages, only receive them.** **I will only send messages to ALL subscribers.**

I hope you will use the service. Mr. Z

**HOMEWORK EXPECTATIONS - 15-20 Minutes EVERY night.** - If you don't finish because it takes longer, have parents sign a note, and incomplete work will be excused. - ANYTHING WORTH ACCOMPLISHING TAKES WORK.
