Reminder to Students

Given you have yet another long weekend, and the correlation between long weekends and assignments that have been "forgotten", I wanted to give you the following reminders:

Regents Chemistry:

Period 2 - labs 4 and 5 are due Monday, 7 November.

Period 4 - labs 4 and 5 are due Tuesday, 8 November (No, period 2 I do not like them better, they performed these labs the day after you did).

AP Chemistry:

Molecular Geometry take home test is due Monday, 7 November.

ALL STUDENTS: First Quarter officially ends on 10 November.  If you have any backwork or assignments, it MUST be taken care of by the close of business on Monday, 7 November.  This will give me the time I need to grade your back work!

Now That We Have Unexpectedly Missed Class on Friday. . .

. . .what should you expect on Monday?

Regents Chemistry: You were scheduled to have a quiz on Friday 28 October.  You will have that quiz on Monday, 31 October.

AP Chemistry: You were scheduled to have a quiz on Monday; you will still have that quiz on Monday, 31 October. 

Appeal: Most students do not follow this blog from what I can tell.  I am hoping that as the year goes on this will change.  If you read this blog over the weekend (28 Oct.-30 Oct.) please pass the word to your classmates that they will have a quiz on Monday.
