AP EXAM REGISTRATION - Window closes 3/11!

AP Students and Parents/Guardians,

If your child is currently taking an AP Course or took an AP Course Fall Semester this year, they received their AP information packet and instructions for registering for the AP Exam today, Friday, February 19th. Registration for AP exams will run from Monday, February 22nd through Friday March 11th. Students will not be able to register for any AP exam after March 11th.

In order to register for an AP Exam, students will need to register with their AP teacher for each respective course in which they want to be tested. In addition, students will need to turn-in the Income Form (see attachment) in order to be registered for their exams. This form should be completed by a parent and is vital information for the state of North Carolina in an effort to continue to provide AP testing at no cost to students/parents. 

We encourage all AP students to take the AP exam for all of their courses, as the test is free and it can only help them in their academic future. Thank you.

GRADUATION PROJECT JUDGES NEEDED!

We need judges to assist with Oral Boards! 

The Fall semester Oral Boards will be Wednesday, December 16, from 4:30 until 7:30.  The Graduation Project process consists of four components: the research paper, the physical product, the portfolio, and the oral presentation. 

Each judging team will be assigned to evaluate 3 to 4 students.  Although you will review each student's portfolio, visual aid, and research paper, your main function as a judge is to evaluate each student's oral presentation on his/her product.  You will also provide feedback for the students.

Please complete the Google document linked below (just click on the link) if you are willing to serve as a judge this year.
