AP Student Meeting

On Monday, March 30 we held a student meeting for those students enrolled in Advanced Placement classes. Given some of the changes, we presented some updates to the students and opened up the floor to some questions. We appreciate the thoughtfulness of many of the students and likewise were so happy to see many of their faces!

Below is the presentation, some questions and answers that came up from the meeting, and a video of the meeting.


AP Student Q&A

Q: A lot of other schools are getting set schedules. Are we also getting one for when classes actually start?

A: We will be publishing a class schedule sometime this week.

Q: Do we have possible dates for the exams? or a range?

A: It is likely that AP testings will begin May 4 and continue until May 22. We will be working with teachers to ensure that the two dates for each test that we provide will be opportune for our students.

Q: Can we take the test whenever we want or does the whole class have to take it together?

A: Students will be provided a day, and our understanding is that there will be a 45-minute window for the student to take the test on that specific day. We will get more specific information about testing windows in the coming weeks.

Q: Is work being graded normally or completion wise. and are these assignments going to be due daily or weekly? Will grading vary by teacher?

A: We will be publishing guidance for all classes, and this information will be standardized to avoid significant variation between classes. Most classes will have work assigned on Monday, with a Friday due date.

Q: What do we do if we have overlapping virtual classes?

A: We have come up with a solution that will prevent that from happening, and all teachers will have two or three days of open office hours for students to schedule individual or small group appointments, beyond virtual class time.

Q: Will classes be recorded/lists of information provided for access?

A: We will be trying our best to provide access to information if a student is unable to make the set class time.
