PARENT INFORMATION: Please be aware that there is homework almost DAILY in Chemistry class, and the best predictor of success on tests and quizzes is if they have tried the problems before. Encourage your student to keep up with the assignments, as getting behind leads to getting lost. I am available after school many days of the week for help, and daily in Advisory period. In addition, the NHS offers tutoring in the Media Center on Tuesdays and Thursdays after school.
You can keep track of what is going on in class with the schedule below. You will still need to come to class to get any necessary handouts, or contact me by email.
