One Down, Two to Go!

number 2

Week 1 of APs are over, two more to go! We made it through and I'm crossing my fingers for lots of 4s and 5s coming our way this summer. A few reminders as we start week two.  No food or drinks are allowed in the exams. It isn't my rule, it is the College Board's. If you need a water bottle or snack you need to leave it at the door of the exam room and have it during the break. There are also no cell phones allowed, even if they are off, in the possession of test takers. Please make things simpler and just leave them at home on the day of the test. Angry Birds will still be there when you get home from school. Last, I want to remind students and parents that AP exams excuse you from class during the exam, but you are still expected to go to your courses the rest of the day. I know it takes stamina to make it through the long test, but sitting through a few more periods of class shouldn't be too difficult, particularly for ElRo students. Mr. Saliani has his 'A.C.E.' acronym for Academics, Community and Ethics. Being in school every day for the entire day is a great way to embody that.

Good luck to AP Music and Bio tomorrow!
