Advanced
Placement Parent Letter
Franklin High School
Advanced Placement Program
September 2009
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.
Angela N. Sawyers, FHS AP Coordinator
Christian Niemeyer, FHS AP Supervisor
