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.
