I understand that in an AP/PreAP class I am expected to put forth my best effort to improve my intellectual growth. AP/PreAP coursework will be one
of my highest priorities.
I understand that an AP/PreAP class is extremely rigorous and it will build my skills for college. There may often be one or more hours of homework
per class per day and I understand that my social life & extracurriculars will be impacted. Grading standards are high in AP classes and most colleges
accept and respect this standard. Some college admissions offices may view a “B” in an AP class as equivalent to an “A” in a regular class.
I understand that I may be required to complete summer and vacation assignments prior to and during the course that will have a significant impact on
my grade. Failure to complete these assignments on time will not constitute a valid reason to withdraw from the course.
I understand that when I enroll in an AP/PreAP course I am making a year-long commitment. I understand that once I enroll in an AP/PreAP
course that it may cause problems with my schedule if I decide to drop it. Failing an AP/PreAP course may result in removal from it at the semester.
I understand that the focus of an AP class is to prepare for the spring AP exam. The exam fee is paid by those students who choose to take the exam, not
by the high school. I am not required to take the exam, and the exam will not negatively impact my grade in the AP class, but if I write a successful test,
I may receive credit for one or more college courses and/or may be able to skip an introductory college course and take one o n a higher level depending
on the institution I attend, I may receive a grade bump in the course (see individual AP teacher’s policy), and I will have my class rank weighted.
I understand that I will be expected to maintain a high level of academic integrity. I wil l do the right thing even when no one is around. All sources I
consult to complete AP/PreAP work will be cited and I will neither share my work nor look at the work of my peers unless directed to by the instructor.
The CHS plagiarism policy will be clearly explained and strictly enforced.
I understand that some instructors may suggest the purchase of novels or other reading material, but copies of the texts will be available for check -out.
I understand that communication is a major key to success. I will consult with my instructor(s), parents, counselor, and others as needed.
I understand that my class rank will be weighted with 5 gpa points for each AP class that I complete.
