Honors Chemistry I & Regular Chemistry I

This class is one of our most difficult courses. Because of its difficulty your child will be expected to study at least 20 to 30 minutes
every night. If your child feels like they are falling behind, they will need to be at school between 7:30 a.m. and 8:10a.m. to receive
tutoring. This is your child's responsibility. You can keep up with your student's progress by logging onto Star Student.
