Attention All Families of Students in AP Courses!Per district policy, all students enrolled in AP courses are required to take AP exams in May. If students do not take the AP exam, they will not receive the AP bonus on their GPA of .05 but rather the honors bonus of .025.
The cost for each AP exam this year is $94. For each exam, we require a down payment of $40 paid to our bookkeeper no later than November 12th. All fees for AP exams must be received no later than March 25th. Exams cannot be ordered for students where fees have not been received in full. If your student is on Free or Reduced Lunch, you may be eligible for exam reductions. Please have your $40 down payments in by November 12th, and then we will notify you in the spring if any more fees are required. If you are eligible for any refunds, we will also notify you as soon as possible. If at any time you have a concern or question about the down payment fee in November, or the final payment deadline of March 25th, please contact our AP Coordinator, Gary Landa, immediately. |
