* Breakfast will be served daily along with grab-and-go lunches each day. There will be snacks provided for students during testing as well.

* Students who are not on campus for testing can be working on missing assignments to improve their class grades, applying for scholarships and researching college & career opportunities via their school Naviance account, or preparing for upcoming assessments in their classes (studying). There will not be a requirement for a virtual check-in for any students who are not testing.

* There are some (optional) practice AP tests that are occurring on these days as well, but that communication will come directly from AP teachers to students/families in those classes regarding the days for those voluntary opportunities. Students in AP classes should direct questions about these opportunities to their teachers.

* You won’t want to miss your scheduled test! If you do miss your test for some reason, you will be contacted by Ms. Yapo/staff regarding your scheduled time for test make-up.

* Do not be late on testing day! You may not be able to take your test if you arrive late and may be sent home. Then you will need to make up your test at a later time.

* Give your best effort during testing!

* You will NOT be allowed to use your cell phone during testing so make sure it is turned OFF and kept in your bag at all times during testing! You do not want to have your test invalidated!
