Spring AP Exam Registration Information - Deadline is March 8

This message only applies to you if you currently have a student taking an AP (CollegeBoard Advanced Placement) class this semester.

Ms. Burnham visited all spring classes earlier this month to discuss the upcoming AP exam registration for spring courses.  These courses include: AP Psychology, AP English Literature, AP Macroeconomics, AP Government, AP English Language, and AP Calculus.

Registration began on 2/16 for spring semester AP courses.  The deadline is March 8. Students wanting to mail in a check to Total Registration rather than pay online need to do that ASAP to ensure payment is received and processed by the deadline.

Students are not required to take the AP exam. Students wanting to take the AP exam must follow the two step directions in the handout.
