CHANGE IN AP SCORE REPORTING
AP Scores will no longer be mailed home by the College Board. In order to receive them, students must establish a College Board account. Accounts are established at collegeboard.org (students who already have a College Board account should try signing in with their current information at collegeboard.org) Once you have signed up, you will receive an email after the exam period letting you know how and when to access your scores. You will need your user name, password and AP number. You will receive your AP number on a label in the AP Student Pack when you take your first AP Exam, each year. More info will be posted periodically on collegeboard.org so be sure to check there from time to time.
COFFEEHOUSE 'JAMFEST'
Come out and enjoy a musical extravaganza under the stars! On Friday, May 31 at 6pm, the Jr/Sr High School students will be performing their music, their way, on the 'Great Lawn', in the front circle at the school. This 'Jam' will be a Woodstock-style showcase of student musicians. Bring your blankets & lawn chairs! All invited - FREE admission.
SECURITY UPDATEThe high school has begun utilizing a new driver's license bar-code scanning system for all visitors during normal school hours. Visitors now receive a pass with their picture, date, time and destination clearly visible. In addition, each license is scanned and run through the National Sex Offender Database. A letter outlining the new procedure was mailed to parents last week.
SEX OFFENDER NOTIFICATIONS AVAILABLE
In order to provide parents/guardians and residents with information concerning convicted sex offenders who are living or working in this area, our school district is now benefiting from a no-cost sex offender email alert notification program. Parents for Megan's Law (PFML) will email district residents, who have registered, informing them of any new sex offender’s presence and direct them to their website where they can access a full copy of the notification. If you have not already registered to receive current or future sex offender notifications, and wish to do so, please visit district website for more information.
