Senior Sign Pick Up
Last week for online learning - drop dead date for submitting assignments 5/15!
If you need to return paper packet assignments, you can take a picture and email the assignments to your student's teacher. This is the quickest and safest way to return assignments.
Medication pick up at LV intermediate school:
With our school year ending in this unexpected way, our nurses weren't able to get medications home in the usual route.
Your campus nurses have packed up all remaining medications left at school and want to help you pick them up as easily as possible. We are even having an evening time to help parents' schedules. All of the district's meds will be there, no need to go to multiple campuses for different students.
Not sure if you have any meds to pick up? Emails have gone out to parents with medications still at school so check your emails. No email? No meds to pick up...
We will be using a car pick-up line at the Intermediate Campus. As you pull up, tell us your child's name and their campus. Your nurse will bring you the meds in their package, you will sign for them and you're done! Please, only parents/guardians to pick up the medications. Sorry, no siblings or neighbors. If these dates don't work for you please contact your campus nurse.
Monday May 11th 5-7 pm - evening
Wednesday May 13th 9-11 am - morning
Friday May 15th 9-11 am - morning

Important stuff in previous newsletters (in case you missed it):
important information for your AP student
Additional information is now available to help guide you and your students through the AP exam day experience.
New Resources:
2020 AP Testing Guide (.pdf/10.9 MB): The guide, designed to walk students through test day, provides information about:
- The AP Exam e-ticket
- Five steps to take before test day
- Understanding the test day experience
- Exam scores, credit, and placement
2020 AP Exam Day Checklist (.pdf/526 KB): Students should complete this checklist for each exam they take and keep it next to them while testing.
Explainer Videos: New videos are available to give students quick, easily accessible information about their test day experience, what they need to do to prepare, exam security, and more. Explore the playlist.
Other Reminders:
AP Exam Demo (available May 4): AP students should use the clickable exam demo to practice the different ways to submit their exam responses. The demo will help students confirm that their testing device will be able to access and run the online exam. If they can’t access the demo, the final slide of the Testing Guide can help them troubleshoot. The sample content in the demo will be the same for all users and isn't a practice exam. We’ll send educators and students an email to remind them when the demo is available. Please encourage your students to take this important preparation step.
Online AP Classes and Review Sessions prep week: The week before exams, online AP classes will focus on the exam day experience and sample exam questions.
Student Outreach: If any students are having difficulty receiving College Board emails, they should go through the steps on the "Confirm your email address" page.
Information for AP Japanese, and Spanish Language and Culture Exams:
The above exams will be administered using a new dedicated app, the AP World Languages Exam App. Students taking these exams must use this app on smartphones or tablets. This free app will be available for download from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store the week of May 11. We’ll email students and their teachers to let them know when the app is available to download. Visit our site for more details.
A video walk-through of the test-taking experience will be available the week of May 4.
