AP Enrollment
All students who wish to enroll in an AP course must have a signed AP contract. This verifies that a student met with teachers at a designated AP session in the spring, during which they were informed of the expectations of the course, to include any summer assignments. Click here to find the AP contract.
Once the school year has begun, students are not permitted to transfer into AP courses. If a student does not wish to continue with his or her AP course during the year, he or she is expected to remain in the AP course until the end of the first quarter.
