Ms.

Clarks Chemistry
I am very excited about being your Chemistry teacher for this year. I hope that you will learn many interesting things and that you acquire problem solving skills that will benefit you in both your personal and professional life. You will have three lecture classes a week. These are single period classes in room 104. Twice a week you will have a lab class. Lab classes will meet in room 103 for a double period. The days alternating the lab days are a study hall period. For the most part we will stick to the days of the week assigned on your schedule. Occasionally we may change lab days. On the first day of the week, I will give you a weekly assignment sheet which will let you know about class work, homework assignments, and lab assignment with due dates. Please keep these sheets for reference for the week. You can also get your assignments from my website. Please ask for help as soon as you feel lost. I will be happy to help. Any time you or your parent need to contact me by email me at ch_clark@lgca.org or call and leave a message with the office at 285-4057.
