Welcome to Chemistry

Parent Letter 2010-2011

1. I am still working to input parent e-mails into my parent group folder.   I will send out the first e-mail soon. Please e-mail me with "EPS12" and your child's name in the subject line so I can add you to my e-mail group.

2. There may have been two teacher's editions stolen from other chemistry classes.  Homework will still be assigned from that text but those problems will not appear on assessments in their original form. 

Thank you
