Textbook Information

For the 2026-27 school year, and in an attempt to reduce confusion, students will receive textbook information from each of their teachers during the first days of school. Students will be asked to then download the appropriate texts either during class or at home that evening.

Summer Science Assignments
Summer Science Assignments
All students enrolled in an AP science class (AP Biology, AP Chemistry, AP
Environmental Science, or AP Physics) for the coming school year are required
to complete a science summer assignment.
The assignments are located at the website: tinyurl.com/pcatscience.
The assignment MUST be completed before the first day of school. The
summer assignment was designed to help you prepare for your science class.
Completion of the Science Summer Assignment will help to ensure that you
are ready for the course. If you are unsure how to proceed on the assignment,
feel free to ask a sibling or parent for guidance, or seek help from a friend who
is confident. This assignment will be counted as part of your first marking
period grade.

If you have questions, feel free to email Mrs. Rosenmund at [email protected].
Have a great summer!
Sincerely,
The PCHS Science Department
