Final Day

Objective:  Don't make the teacher  mad!

Note from principal:   Please be sure you are supervising students and keeping them in your classroom.  Please continue to only allow them to leave one at a time to go to the restroom.  Please do not allow them to "run errands," go somewhere to get a yearbook signed, or to their counselor (The counselors are working with seniors at graduation practice and are not in their offices).  

That means:  Ask me to use the restroom.  One at a time.  And you have two minutes to get it done.

Objective:  The students will whatever.

1.  From Ms. Chavez:   

Also if I can ask for a small favor- the seniors I had freshman year wrote a Freshman Memoir that I have held since their freshman year. With AP testing we are not making announcements- do you mind telling your senior classes to come pick theirs up from me? I will be here everyday at both lunches!

Thank you so much- I really appreciate it!

Day 153

Objective:  The students will make sure that they can log into Blue Book.

Hi all,

I'm sending this early, but it's important. As AP Coordinator, I do not have the ability to unlock passwords or offer any student account related assistance. On exam day, students will need to sign in to Bluebook using their College Board student account information to access their digital AP Exam. Saving their password on their Chromebook won’t work.If a student is unable to log into Bluebook, they will have to Contact Collegeboard, which is a time consuming endeavor.

Please spend some time with your students to ensure that they can locate their Collegeboard student account information and sign into Bluebook before exam day. You can make it an assignment that they can do on their own, or do it as a class.

Students should also: 

Check to ensure all their digital AP Exams are appearing on their Bluebook homepage.

Try a test preview.

Instruct student with issues to contact Collegeboard at 888-225-5427
