ATTENDANCE INFORMATION:

Students can be excused from classes on the day of his/her exam and to leave school upon completion of the exam. AP Teachers will distribute “Permission to leave campus before or after test” form from a week before May 4, 2015. Students will then will out the form and turn in to the attendance windows—from there students will be given a copy as a pass to leave off campus.

Get a good night’s rest before your exam, and eat a nutritious breakfast. It is advisable to bring a sweater, in case the room temperature is below your comfort level.  

You are required to abide by the policies of both the College Board and SCHS during the exam period.
