New reg process & timing this year!  AP Exam Registration is open now through Nov. 1.  Beginning this year, students register in two places, on CollegeBoard.org (with a “Join Code” from AP Teacher)  and on the Acalanes Web Store. Detailed information, including step by step instructions, is available on the Web Store and will be discussed in AP Classes. Please contact Hannah Welling, Testing Coordinator in the Counseling Office if you have questions or concerns. 

The end of the first quarter was Oct. 11.  Grades will be updated in School Loop by Wednesday Oct. 16.  Progress reports are only mailed if no parent is registered in School Loop. 

 A reminder to pay for official transcripts for your college apps on the Web Store.  Registrar Mrs. Finn will make sure they get sent right away or let your counselor know that transcripts are ready to send along with other documents.  

Students can still drop a class (depending on requirements and credit status) until the end of the quarter.  Quarter grades will be updated on School Loop by October 16.   Quarter grades are not on transcripts, but serve as a progress report at the half-way point in the semester.
