AP/ IB Classes Summer Assignments

A few days ago I mentioned the fact that students are currently taking AP and IB tests.  Even more students are planning AP and IB classes for next year and so I wanted to remind you that many of those classes will have summer assignments.  AP/ IB teachers have been working hard to prepare meaningful learning opportunities to help you get a jump start during the summer months.  Please pay close attention to the announcements each day because there will be meetings before/ after school for students to meet with the teachers for next year, to learn about the summer requirements and expectations, and to understand what you will need to do if you have questions or need support. 

It is also important that all students are aware that there is a drop deadline of June 15th for all AP and IB courses.  Prior to June 15th students can drop the classes without penalty.  After June 15th the summer assignments are still required and the grades for the summer work will be transferred into the new class that you will transferring into for next year instead of your intended class.  So, it is important not only that you know what you will need to do, but also to start working on the assignments - at least enough to make sure you feel confident that you are going to enjoy the course - so that you will know by June 15th if you feel you are going to need to change out of that class.
