Confirm your AP exam status by Nov. 13

I received this information this morning from the school's front office:

• Paying for an AP test through the payment envelope/bank does NOT mean they are automatically signed up for the AP test. They need to be registered through myap.collegeboard.org for each test they are taking in order for the test to be ordered for them.
  
• Please have all students check their account at https://myap.collegeboard.org to see if their account correctly reflects the tests they will and will not (tests they opted out of) be taking. 
• If students are not registered for a test they have already paid for, they need to do so ASAP today. The join codes you shared with your classes at the beginning of the year are still working. If they need to register for a test that they are self-studying for, please have them see me.
• If you have an issue or question on this, please see Ms. Chu in the front office ASAP

AP Exam Out Form

Apparently there has been a change to how students register for AP exams. Now if you are in an AP class, you are automatically signed up the exam UNLESS you complete the opt out form and return it by the deadline on the form, October 18, 2019.

Here is more info on registering for the AP exam.

Procedure for requesting a letter of recommendation for your senior year

If you would like me to write you a letter of recommendation, here is what you will need to do.
- You will type up a one-page request. No more than one page.
- You will submit to the folder on Turnitin.com classroom by 11:59 p.m. on Friday, May 31.
- In the letter, you will include one paragraph explaining why you would like me specifically to write you a letter of recommendation. In other words, why do you want me instead of other teachers to write you a letter?
- In the letter, you also will include one paragraphing explaining what things you would like me to include in your letter, should I write one for you. My goal is to get these so that I can write them over the summer and this section will help me write a more personalized letter for you.
- Include in the request your email so I can let you know over the summer if I will be able to write you a letter of recommendation.
