Dear Parents and Community,

The AP and IB exams begin three weeks from today! These tests, which are both generated and graded by outside organizations, are college level examinations, which can result in college level credit. However, in order to qualify, the tests must be administered properly and that includes having a sufficient number of proctors. Offering these demanding classes to our students is a community effort. We need your help.

We are asking all parents or guardians of students taking either an AP or an IB test(s) to please volunteer to proctor either an AP or IB test(s) other than ones their own children are taking. Proctoring is not difficult. Each test has a paid administrator. Volunteer proctors pass out tests, collect tests, issue bathroom passes and are on site should we be audited-which we were 4 years ago! The commitment is for a morning or an afternoon. I have put in approximate times in the schedule below. I will confirm the exact time and location in a confirmation email after you let me know which exams you can do.

If you end up in an extended time slot, please note, only the students' time is extended, the proctor will be relieved at the end of the morning session or the end of the regular test in the afternoon.

Ms. Williams is holding two pre-administration sessions for AP students on April 27 and April 28 after school in the Community Theater from 3:30 until about 5 p.m. Students will be filling out the information required on the answer sheet of only the first exam they take each year, so doing this in advance saves us about 40 minutes of reading at each test administration. There are over 800 students taking AP exams this year and all will attend one meeting or the other.

Please look over the schedule below and let me know which exams you can proctor. I'll respond to each and every one of you. Thank you as always for your continued support.
