Welcome to PreAP Chemistry! This is a rigorous academic course designed to prepare students for AP Chemistry and for college.  

This document shows the topics we will cover this year in each term: DHS Chemistry Syllabus for Canvas.docx

• Students must be able to access and submit assignments via Canvas
• Lab makeups/test makeups: please have your student talk to me about the best time to make up missing work.  I am available before/after school for any questions!
• Tutorials: Eagle Hour (B) T/F, also before school most days and during my duty time in the hallway
• Conference times:  4^th period or 5^th period
• Grading Percentages: 60% Major grades (exams, quizzes, and projects)         

                                                30% Labs 

                                                10% Daily work and homework

• Homework is not accepted late; students have 5 free “homework passes” per semester
• Labs are penalized 10% each day they are late
• Cheating will result in a ZERO on the assignment, lab, or test; detention being assigned; and parents being contacted.  Cheating may result in being ineligible for honor societies.  Cheating includes having/using a cell phone during exams.
