Hints to succeed in chemistry!

Get help! I am at school 7:15-3:30 almost every day (and some lunch periods if you arrange it with me)
Students' grades will be updated on SIS at the end of each unit, when students turn in their notebooks and take the test. Students keep a more detailed copy of what scores they have earned in their notebooks, as well as turning in a copy that I keep. This means that parents should be able to see any time how their student is doing in class. If parents are wondering how students are doing on the current unit, the best thing to do is to ask their student to see their notebook and unit score sheet.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me!
