note about test dates and make ups:  ALL students who do not take the test as scheduled will not receive a "class curve". Meaning that the test will be graded as a regular rubric percentage grade .

After school meetings:

ALL STUDENTS ARE STRONGLY ENCOURAGED TO ATTEND AFTER SCHOOL MEETINGS ALTHOUGH ATTENDANCE IS NOT MANDATORY.  

DUE TO THE EXTENSIVE AMOUNT OF HISTORY THAT MUST BE COVERED IN THIS CLASS, AP STUDENTS MUST MEET AFTER SCHOOL IN ORDER TO PREPARE FOR THE NATIONAL EXAM COMING THIS MAY OF 2009.  

STUDENTS WILL RECEIVE EXTRA CREDIT FOR PARTICIPATING FROM 2:45 TO 3:45PM.  AND ALTHOUGH YOU MAY ARRIVE LATE OR LEAVE EARLY TO GET THE MOST FROM THE AFTER SCHOOL SESSIONS, A STUDENT WILL NOT RECEIVE THE EXTRA CREDIT UNLESS THEY ARE THERE ENTIRELY PRESENT FROM 2:45 TO 3:45.  

AGAIN, YOU MAY STILL ATTEND EVEN IF YOU CANT MAKE IT ON TIME OR IF YOU MUST LEAVE EARLY.  BUT KEEP IN MIND THAT THESE AFTER SCHOOL SESSIONS ARE VITAL TO SUCCEEDING IN THE NATIONAL EXAM.
