Finally, a message to parents:
Magnet and Honors Chemistry are rigorous courses.We cover 18 chapters of the textbook in one semester!To be successful in this class, students should be working on something in chemistry every night:reading the chapter, completing chapter worksheets, going over notes from today’s lecture, working problems at the end of the chapter, writing lab reports, studying for a test or quiz, or working on a major project.Parents, if your child is NOT doing chemistry for 2 or 3 days in a row, they will quickly get behind!
