1) Staab Chemistry blog: You will find a syllabus for the course content, how you will be assessed, how to link to your current grade, assignment due dates, study tips, links to useful Chemistry websites, videos and photos. New posts are on top, older posts as you scroll down. www.chem1staab.blogspot.com
2) PPS Synergy: You can check your current grade, online, anytime. But you need the username and password which the school should mail to your parents. SYNERGY
3) Chemistry video lessons: If you miss a lesson done in class the best resources are on YouTube. I recommend Crash Course Chemistry channel, Brightstorm channel and Khan academy channel. For IB chemistry Richard Thornley channel is the resource I currently recommend.

Almost any Chemistry topic is covered in some way on YouTube. Unfortunately the videos and explanations are not always correct, so never use it as your only source of information. And please do not try any of the pyrotechnics you see people doing on YouTube without supervision of a trained Chemist. Some of them are truly extreamly dangerous. It can happen to you.
Wikipedia and About.com are good resources for many Chemistry topics, so long as they are not your only resource.
If you are interested in watching some excellent videos of Chemistry topics that may not directly correspond with General or IB Chem topics I recommend the amazing website www.periodicvideos.com which has a true genius mad professor Martyn Poliakoff a pioneer "green" Chemist.
