Introduction Welcome to the
2004/2005 school year at Todd Beamer High School.
As your AP-Chemistry 12 and AP-Chemistry
3/4teacher, I am looking forward to teaching your
first college styled chemistry class. This is a
year chemistry class whos main objective is to
prepare your student to take the AP-Chemistry
exam. Students could get college credit for
passing the AP-Chemistry exam depending on the
college they attend.   Goal The goal of this
course is to prepare students for the
AP-Chemistry test by teaching them their first
year chemistry class   Tardy Policy A student
must be in their seat at the start of class or
they will be marked tardy. The third tardy will
result in a lunch detention

Grading Scale Grades will be assigned according
to the TBHS grade scale (no D,D,D-)   Retakes
Quizzes and/or the midterm may be retaken only
once and you get the average of the two scores.
Retakes must be taken within five days of getting
your quizzes and/or the midterm back. You must

in to get the retake quiz. The final can not be
retaken.   Late Work You are responsible for the
work you miss if you are absence. Assignments
that are turned in late will be penalized 10 per
day until assignment is worth 50. After the 5th
day the assignment will no longer be
excepted   Communication Progress reports will
be sent home every three weeks. You can also
access the grades on line at https//grades.fwsd.w
