Scholarship award ceremony
Has your student been offered a scholarship award? (Whether they will accept it or not.)

AP Exam Ordering Deadline
The final deadline to make any changes to your AP exam(s) is February 28th. This includes additions and cancellations, both with a $40 LATE fee per exam. For example, if your student marked "no" to an exam originally, but would now like to take the exam, he or she has until February 28th to sign up and pay with a $40 late fee per exam. Also, if you your student marked "yes" and paid for an exam and now no longer wants to take it, he or she has until February 28th to change their answer to "no" and get refunded $58 of the $98 per exam. Any cancellations after the 28th will result in no refund.
For those students in AP Microeconomics or AP Government this semester, since it is a semester class, there are no late fees. Students in this scenario can elect to take the exam in College Board and make their payment here: https://user.totalregistration.net/AP/30696 until February 28th.

Library News
**************************************************************************
Library Information:
Go on a blind date with a good book! The library put together a display for February that has already been very popular with students. The display has books that are covered up so that students don’t know the title or what the cover looks like. The only information students have is a brief description of the book. They pick a book based on the description, check it out, then open the wrapping to find out what it is. When they are done with the book, they rate the book and get a sweet tweet from Mrs. Flaherty and Mrs. Jeffers. It has been a fun way to get students reading!
Digital Citizenship:
Many times we find ourselves in the midst of breaking news. Our teens are susceptible to disinformation even more during this time as they have information put in front of them from various social media platforms-information they may not have even been seeking out. Here are tips to guide them through these events: Teaching Kids Media Smarts During Breaking News.
