See entire CAASPP Testing Schedule HERE with tabs at the bottom for additional information. Thank you to Department Chair and Leadership group for working with Admin to develop and discuss this schedule. Aligned with our school goals for shared cross-content collaboration and expanding ALL TEACHERS understanding of SBAC testing with students, EVERYONE has a role to play in testing, not just English and Math teachers. As always, after we carry this out, we will review how it went and make improvements for the following year.
AP Testing Dates: Here is the complete schedule; WHHS students are taking the ones in blue. Next year we are adding AP Physics and AP Computer Science to benefit our students. We hope to hear soon for our NMSI Grant finalist selection for the 2018-19 school year. This grant funds $300,000 for three years focusing on expanding the number of students within our AP programs in English, Math, Science, and Computer Science, as well as the total number of sections being offered for each of these.
The 2018 AP Exams are held from May 7–11 (Week 1) and from May 14–18 (Week 2).
