This would have been our brief Spring Break in which there would have been a shortened school day on Wednesday and no school on Thursday and Friday. Remember, there is internet access outside of each school. We had several students participate in the Teams video call last week.  There were several questions about the AP exam.  This was just a check-in to see how everyone is doing.  On Tuesday at 1:30, we will have another online meeting to discuss the AP Exam and essential components of Unit I.  Our Superintendent of Schools,  Christy Miller, was recently interviewed by Unleashed Tygart  in a YouTube video.  Her interview answers many concerns of the community. You should have completed sample MCQ and FRQ from the College Board last week. Here are the assignments for the week (Remember this are enrichment activities and will not count against you). These activities are located on school email and the class OneNote: 1.  View these videos...
