The finish line is so close, y’all! AP Exams started this week, and we appreciate teachers and students being flexible as we ask for quieter halls in Presnell so students can have a quiet testing environment. AP Exams continue into next week as well. The schedule for next week is:
 

 

Monday

Tuesday

Wednesday

Thursday 

Friday

8 AM

Calculus AB

Calculus BC

Non-AP classes are wrapping up with final assessments this week and next. These final assessments are a unit or chapter test, essay, project, or culminating assignment. 

  • The assessments will go towards a student’s Quarter 4 grade. 
  • The second-semester grade will be calculated with the average of Quarter 3 and Quarter 4. 
  • The final grade will be the average of Semester 1 and Semester 2. 

 

We hope as many students will attend the All School Field Day next Friday, May 16, from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. Seniors taking the AP Exam that afternoon are welcome to participate in the faculty vs. senior kickball game, which should start around 10:45. 

 

 

Enjoy your weekend,
Amanda & Jillian
