Start of the Year Policies

If you have questions about the AP policies for the start of the year and grading, please see the Start of the Year Policies posted in each of the Virtual School classrooms.

Reminder of Deadlines

Just a few reminders to discuss with your students:

1. Friday, August 29th- the deadline for the Pre-Test at 11:55PM. Check to see if your student has completed their quiz early. The Pre-Test will appear in the grade listing, BUT it will not factor into their running grade. At the end of the semester, a Post-Test will be given. The highest of these grades will be used at this time.

2. Friday, September 4th- the last date to register for the ACC program. We have had an overwhelming response to the program so the registration sessions filled up quickly. In order to open up space, I will be taking my classes to the Computer Lab during school hours to register.

3. Thursday, September 10th- the last day for students to switch from AP to traditional United States History. After this date, students must be remain in the AP course through the end of the semester.

If you have time, please sign up to follow this blog so I know someone is out there....!
