Dear AP students,

I hope you have had a nice weekend!  While I understand you have not been able to attend an AP pre administration session up to this point, it is very important that you complete this essential paperwork this week.  I know it is a busy time for everyone, but in order to take your AP exam(s) this step must happen in advance.  We will be offering a final session this Wednesday, April 29th at 8 p.m. in the Memorial Hall common room.  The process should take about 25 minutes.  Mark your calendar, set an alarm on your phone, or whatever you have to do! 

Best,

Mrs. Ward
