AP Test Digital Kiosk App
The Technology Department is deploying the secure digital kiosk app for AP tests to all high school Chromebooks. This is a kiosk app which means it is available before students login to their Chrome devices. It cannot be installed only on specific student Chromebooks; it must be available on all the high school Chromebooks so that any student who needs it can launch it before logging in.
Only high school students instructed by their AP teacher to take the exam will need to use the app. Before the scheduled exam dates, AP teachers should plan to have students test the kiosk app in any way indicated to them by the College Board or their AP coordinator, such as having students go through the Digital Practice in order to familiarize themselves with the testing app.
Additionally, prior to the test, please share this quick one-pager with any students who are testing, and have them follow the reminders in order to make sure their Chromebooks work as efficiently as possible during the test.
If you have a student who needs to use the app but does not see it on their Chromebook, please submit a help desk ticket with the Chromebook barcode or have the student contact the student tech support team at 425-431-1211 or techsupport@edmonds15.org so one of our techs can resolve the issue as soon as possible.

Edmonds School District policy regarding medication at school:
Whenever possible, medication should be given before or after school under the supervision of a parent/guardian. When absolutely necessary, medications can be administered in school on a daily, temporary, or as-needed basis under the supervision of a Certificated School Nurse.
Prescription and over-the-counter medications need an order signed by a Licensed Health Care Provider (LHCP) for school. The order is valid for the current school year only. See below for the form you'll need.
Medications can be brought to school by the parent/guardian and stored in the Health Room. Students may also "self-carry" an asthma inhaler, Epinephrine Auto-Injector, or one daily dose of certain medications with clearance from the School Nurse.
