Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month is a commemoration of the culture, traditions and history of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in the United States that takes place in May. In 1978, Congress passed a joint Congressional Resolution to pay tribute to Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Week during the first week of May and, in 1992, the month of May was permanently designated as Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. Throughout the month, communities celebrate the achievements and contributions of people who are Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPI) with community festivals, government-sponsored activities and educational activities for students. This message was brought to you by the ERASE Club.

Attention AP Students: AP Exams begin on Monday, May 4 to Friday, May 15. Testing rooms, dates, and times will be posted outside of the Counseling Office. You must report to the testing room by 7:40 AM for 8:00 AM exams and 11:40 AM for 12:00 PM exams. If you are late, you may not be able to test. If you take the school bus, you are encouraged to get a ride to school on the day of your exam. Students will be dismissed at the conclusion of the exam; no early dismissals are permitted. Smart glasses, other wearable technologies, cell phones, smart watches, and other non-approved electronic devices are prohibited from the exam room, during testing, and during breaks. Leave all backpacks and electronics in your locker or home. Be sure to know your College Board username and password. On the day of each AP Exam, you must bring: A fully charged school-issued Chromebook and charger for all hybrid and digital AP Exams, #2 pencils (mechanical pencils are not allowed), 2 black or dark-blue pens, an approved calculator, if needed - consult with your AP Teacher for guidelines about permitted calculators, a water bottle, snacks, and/or lunch if you are taking 2 AP Exams in one day. If you have any questions, please speak with your counselor.
