If you have had the vaccine, you can bring your vaccine card and you will not have to test, but can pick up the dance wristband.

AP Exams: Important Information

 AP exams are right around the corner. Students should have received an email notification with the dates and times of the exams they are signed up to take. If your student is taking an AP exam this year, please have them check their email account for that information. Before exam test day, please review the terms and conditions at cb.org/apexamterms. You will be required to sign the terms and conditions prior to every exam you take. On your assigned test day, please arrive on time with at least two number two pencils, at least one pen with black or dark blue ink, and on certain exams a permissible calculator.
