Dear Falcon Families,
The countdown continues! We have two full weeks left in the school year and lots to do. Final assessments and celebrations are already in the works as we end the year with banquets, award ceremonies, and more. AP test makeups will take place this week; all AP scores will be available at the beginning of July. Remind your students to check their emails for messages from the College Board. Please continue to remind your students to check their grades and follow up with their teachers regarding missing work, make-up work, and tutoring, to ensure they finish the school year strong.
There are important reminders for senior students this week, so please be sure to take time to read about these updates below.
