AP Application
The FIRST EMAIL ADDRESS you enter in the application is where the email confirmation will be sent after you press "submit." Make sure you choose an email account you use regularly.
DO NOT USE YOUR APS STUDENT EMAIL ADDRESS.
MOST OF US DO NOT KNOW HOW TO CHECK IT.
ALL OF THE COURSES ARE LISTED.
THE CHOICES ARE IN A DROP-DOWN BOX, SO YOU MAY HAVE TO SCROLL DOWN THE LISTING WITH YOUR ARROW KEYS TO SEE THE ENTIRE COURSE LIST.
This depends on the device you are using. THANKS.
A NOTE ABOUT AP STUDY HALL:
Students must have AT LEAST 3 AP COURSES in order to request AP Study Hall. If you have fewer than 3 AP courses, you will not be able to take the AP Study Hall. This is a “for credit” course that appears on the transcript and counts as part of a student’s GPA.
Here's how it works:
You will NOT REQUEST AP STUDY HALL UNTIL JANUARY - the time you request all of your other courses.
We can’t count AP Study Hall as one of the 8 out of 8 classes right now. We have to fill all teaching slots with core classes and electives, and then we see which teachers have space in their schedules to teach it.
Let’s pretend that we can accommodate 100 students for AP Study Hall – this is just PRETENDING AT THIS POINT… We would then choose the first 100 students who fill out the online link IN JANUARY and ask them which 1 of your 8 classes you are willing to surrender in order to take the study hall. It is VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU WATCH YOUR EMAILS FROM NOW ON... Scheduling is ALL ELECTRONIC each year at Midtown High School.
Be ready – it may not work for all schedules, and some students will change their minds… Others won’t answer the email. Then after a week or two, I go to the next name on the list and do the same thing until we get all 100 slots completely filled.
How do students earn grades in the course? Each student will work with the teacher to develop weekly goals based on the work the student is doing in the AP courses. Students will be assessed by working toward the acquisition of those goals. EASY... In addition, there may be times when the teacher gives an SAT Word-of-the-Day exercise as part of the participation grade. That's it in a nutshell.
