Hello and welcome!

My name is Mrs. Appleby and I teach all levels of chemistry here at Norco High! I'm a graduate of Norco High School myself and received my bachelor's degree in Biology at CBU in Riverside. I just finished my master's degree in Chemistry this summer from WGU. I love my job and it shows through my teaching. I work very hard to ensure my students gain the experience they need through exciting demonstrations, lab experiments, and rigorous lessons. In my free time, my hobbies include riding horses, going camping with my family, fitness, and yoga practices. Please view some important information about the 2024-2025 school year below.

AP CHEMISTRY SUMMER ASSIGNMENT:
There was no assignment this summer. Thank you all for signing up! Get ready to work and be amazing!

Office Hours:
Daily after school from 3:34-4:30pm

What you can expect every day during the first week:
1) Come to school on time, every day. My classroom is N109! I have a strict tardy policy. The school allows a 1-week grace period for the first week of school, but after that you will find yourself in lunch detention for being tardy...even to 1st period. Please be on time. 
2) No homework! Just bring the required materials for your class. They are due by the first Friday. 

Reach out to me with ANY questions, or just to say hello! I check my email every day.
