AP Parents and Students:

Please read this letter in its entirety. As a school, we are striving to have one hundred percent participation on the part of AP students in taking the exams at the end of the year. Please continue to encourage your student to have regular study habits and regular attendance in order to strengthen his/her academic performance.

Pertinent AP testing information will continue to be mailed directly to AP parents and posted on the school’s website.  Students will also be reminded of AP deadlines and procedures throughout the school year by way of daily announcements, phone calls home and the teachers of these courses.

For those students who are also taking IB exams, remember to state (at the time of payment) that an alternate exam should be ordered because of IB conflicts. Alternate exams for conflicts with IB exams are not automatically ordered because all IB students do not want to take the corresponding AP exam. We also need this information well before testing begins for planning purposes. More information regarding this issue will be made available by the IB Coordinator.

Payment Procedures are as follows:

All payments shall be given to the secretary in the Counseling Center before school or during lunch. The entire amount may be paid by November 12. For those who find a payment plan more feasible, the payment plan is outlined below:

• First payment due November 12, 2009 (all students must make a payment by this date whether it be a full or partial payment)
• Second and final payment due March 4, 2010

Payment Amount

• Payment in Full—$86 per test
• Payment Plan Option—$43 per test (by each due date)

Paying by check

• If a student is paying by check, the check should be made payable to Franklin High School.
• The name of the student whose exams are being paid for should be legibly written at the top of the check.
• In the FOR section of the check, the specific name of the AP test(s) to be taken should be listed.  For example, denote which AP English exam is to be ordered, English Language or English Literature.

Cash payments

• Each student should make sure that he/she receives a receipt for the cash payment.
• Each student should make sure that the receipt has the correct AP test names listed.

Please have your child return this signed letter with his/her payment. A copy of this letter has been posted on the website, if you would like to have a copy for reference purposes. As we all know dates and deadlines can sneak up on us. Please mark your calendars and make any necessary preparations to ensure prompt payment.

The PLAN
For 10^th Graders Only 

The PLAN is the pre-ACT (American College Test).  The ACT is one of the two most widely accepted college entrance exams.  It helps students determine how they would perform on the actual test.  It tells the students how many and what types of questions they responded to correctly and incorrectly.  It also tells the students what type of career might be good for them, strictly based on the kinds of skills your child exhibited on the test. 

 Williamson County Schools pays for each student to take the PLAN; therefore, it is free of charge to students.  The PLAN will be offered on October 14, 2009.  Make up day for the PLAN is TBD.

The PSAT

For 10^th and 11^th Graders

The PSAT is the pre-SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test).  The SAT is one of the two most widely accepted college entrance exams.  It helps students determine how they would perform on the actual test.  It tells the students how many and what types of questions they responded to correctly and incorrectly.  The PSAT also qualifies students for National Merit status during the 11^th grade year if a student meets certain requirements.  For more information, log-on at www.collegeboard.com/psat. 

The county does not pay for this test.  Thus, the cost of the test is $15.  Checks are accepted for payment.  Please make the check out to Franklin High School, with the student name plainly printed in the FOR section of the check.  The PSAT will be offered on October 14, 2009. 

For your information….

Tenth graders who take the PSAT on October 14th will have the opportunity to take the PLAN on the make-up date.
