ADVANCED PLACEMENT TESTING REMINDERS FOR STUDENTS AND PARENTS
Frederick High School will be administering Advanced Placement exams during the weeks of May 4 - 8 and May 11 - 15, 2020. AP registration process is different than registration in the past, teachers will help facilitate registration through new AP classroom portals, which have already started for fall semester and year-long courses. If you are not sure, please check with your student.
REMINDERS:
Late registrations will be charged a $40.00 fee by the College Board.
If you have questions, see Mr. Phillips or Mrs. Celarié in the Main Office.
Information regarding AP exams which will take place in May can be found here: Advanced Placement Testing Information
Hearing and Vision Screening will take place on April 29th and 30th for all students that are new enterers to the Maryland public school system. Maryland State Law mandates this screening. Parents/guardians who have an objection to this screening based on the tenets and/or practice of their church or religion must submit a request for their child to be exempt from screening. All written requests must be submitted to the health room. Please make sure if your child wears glasses or contacts that they have them on the screening days. If you have any questions please contact the health room at 240-236-7003.
Students are encouraged to report security concerns to a trusted adult (parent, teacher, administrator, School Resource Officer). Students may also anonymously report concerns using the Safe Schools Maryland Tip Line at 833-MD-B-SAFE or https://www.safeschoolsmd.org .
In an emergency, call 911. Additional resources can be found on the FCPS website.
TRANSPORTATION DELAY BOARD - Wondering why your bus is running 10 minutes late or more? FCPS has created a transportation delay board. Information may be accessed on the FCPS website at the following link:

ATTENDANCE MATTERS
Students are permitted to take only 5 vacation days per school year. If a student misses more than 5 days for vacation, those absences will be coded as "illegal" and the student runs the risk of not earning credit for the term or semester. Please contact an administrator if you have any questions.
Successful academic achievement and student attendance are directly correlated. Students are expected to maintain acceptable attendance with absence from school only for lawful reasons. Unlawful absences may result in lowering of grades, ineligibility for extracurricular activities, disciplinary action, and failures.
