Lab Schedule for Monday-Tuesday Afternoon Labs

In order to meet the AP requirements we will need to meet two Monday afternoons/two Tuesday afternoons a month (or thereabouts) for a college-level lab that will take two hours -- more or less.  In the event that there is only one section of AP Chemistry, then labs will meet on Monday afternoons.

Lab teams will choose the day of the week at the beginning of the year.

Please avoid scheduling appointments for the afternoon on your team's day of the week during the school year, particularly on the days listed.

If you are involved in extra-curricular actives that take place on the afternoon of your lab day you will receive an excused absence from that activity for the time spent in lab.

Occasional unavoidable conflicts may arise and these will be handled on a case by case basis in a way that may well require flexibility on the part of the student.
