Attention AP Club Members who participated in the Coldstone Creamery Candy Apple fundraiser: Please turn in all
your money & order forms to the ASB window TODAY! It is very important that you do this TODAY as your candy
apple orders will not be put through. Thanks.
SENIORS: Please begin checking your attendance for 2nd semester at the attendance office. If you are planning to
participate in the Senior Picnic and Grad Nite you cannot have more than 9 absences for 2nd semester. Feel free to
come to the office before and after school.
ATTENTION ALL AP STUDENTS – It is time to start thinking about getting your AP exams paid for and ordered.
Stop by the ASB Office before March 18th to make your payments. All exams cost $91 each unless you qualify for a
fee waiver. If you qualify for a fee waiver, exams cost $5 each. See Vero in ASB to see if you qualify for the fee waiver.
It seems like these tests are expensive, but if you take into consideration how these tests could exempt you from taking
college courses (which could cost several hundred dollars per course at the university level), you’re actually getting a
great deal! Study hard and get your exams paid for in the ASB Office. Deadline to order any exams is 3 PM on
Wednesday, March 18th. Go Spartans!
Students mark your calendars: On Thursday February 12 Business Exhibitors will be coming during both lunches to
talk with you about job opportunities with their companies. This is a great time to get career information on various

Givens in the main office to pick up an application. The deadline to apply is tomorrow Friday, January 30th. Act now
