Do you really want to put all of this work into a class and not cap it off with the AP Test?

INSPIRATION: Terry Fox 30 for 30 (3 minutes). Terry is one of my absolute heroes. He attempted to run a marathon across the country of Canada. Oh, and he wanted to do it to raise money for cancer. Oh, yeah... and he only had one leg. This clip is just the preview to the 30 for 30 special documentary that ESPN did on his life. However, if you want to see the full story, this 8 minute clip is amazing:

AP Test Pre-Registration

Next week marks the beginning of Advanced Placement Testing (as well as STAAR/EOC exams).  In order to effectively administer AP exams, students are required to attend a pre-administration to complete necessary information before testing begins.   This year we are administering an AHS record 974 AP exams.

Most students have already registered, but we still have many who need to complete this important testing administrative tasks.

This week I will conduct two additional AP Pre-Administration Sessions in the Red LG, Wednesday afternoon at 3:00 pm and Thursday morning at 8:00 am.  Please let your AP students/testers know that if they have not already taken care of the pre-administration paperwork, they MUST attend one of these two sessions this week.  

Please tell your students to arrive 10 to 15 minutes early to sign in and pick up AP student packs and AP paperwork.  After the session starts, no students will be allowed in late.
