Honor Council Nominations

The student-led Honor Council is essential to the proper functioning of our honor system and the strength of our school community. In order to create an Honor Council that is representative of and has the support of the student body, the process for selecting candidates relies on nominations from the members of the class.

First thing on Monday, May 6, you received an emailed Honor Council nomination ballot for your class. Read the instructions to see the number of people you can nominate – select those who you believe possess honor, morality, and integrity, and who have the strength of character to uphold the honor code and act as role models, even in difficult circumstances.

Nominations will close at 4:00pm on Tuesday, May 7.

The election of the members of the Judiciary Board will take place next week.

Congratulations to sophomore Kathryn DeLoach & senior Andrew Hill

for being named Spartans of the Week! (Week of April 29):

“In his first area tournament Andrew started the back 9 with 3 birdies in a row and finished out with a 3 under back 9 to score his lowest career tournament round of 74 helping lead the Spartans to a team total 305 and 1 under as a team on the second 9. Great job Andrew!

In her first 18 tournament back from injury Kathryn had 6 birdies and 2 bogeys to win the Area Tournament Low Medalist with a round of 68 and help lead the Spartans to their second area championship in a row. Great job Kathryn!“–Brian Olson, Head Coach Varsity Golf

Congratulations to the T&F athletes who advanced Saturday to the state finals Thursday-Saturday!

Good luck to the Spartan T&F and boys tennis teams in the state finals this week!

Come to the Chambers Center TODAY at 3:45 for the college signing and celebration of Kymel, Isaac and Margalit!

From our Sister School in Germany:

We cordially invite you to participate in our global peace project. Our aim is to illustrate the diversity and connections between people of different cultures through portrait photos and personal thoughts on peace. We are asking students to provide a portrait photo against a culturally significant backdrop along with their answer to the question: “What does peace mean to you?” We would be delighted if your school could be part of this project. Please make sure that the faces are in the foreground. An example image is attached for your reference. Thank you for your support.

AP Policy & Exam Details

SENIORS

The last day of class for seniors is May 8; exams may be given May 9-10; teachers will work with their students regarding assessment/exam times during the regular block rotations.
Per the handbook: With the teacher’s approval, a senior may be exempt from a second-semester examination in a course if the semester average before the examination is at least 90.

AP Details (exams May 6-17)

Seniors are not required to attend their AP class(es) after they take their AP exam(s), but students in grades 10-11 are expected to attend their class(es) for the remainder of the year. At the discretion of the AP teachers and depending on when the exam takes place, assignments will be given to the underclassmen during this time period.
All AP students are permitted to take the ½ day before their AP exam for last-minute preparation: students who have morning exams may take the afternoons before the exams to study; they must have parental permission and sign out before leaving. This doesn’t include weekends. Similarly, students who have afternoon exams may take the morning to prepare.
- For example, if students have an exam that takes place on a Wednesday afternoon, they are not required to attend Wednesday morning classes. If students have an exam on a Thursday morning, they can leave school after their second block on Wednesday.
If students have a morning AP exam, they are expected to attend afternoon classes. If they miss afternoon classes, their absences are recorded, and they may miss classroom assignments.
Students who have College Board approval for extra time are required to stay for their entire exam period, and may not leave if they are done early. Students cannot waive their accomodations on the day of the exam.

Here is the link for the AP guidelines for students, the calculator policy, and FAQ.
Please send any questions about these policies to Dr. Rogers.
