This is a reminder email to families with students who will be taking advanced placement exams to be aware of the payment deadlines. This year the payment deadline is March 1^st. If you have already made your payment – thank you. The College Board is allowing full refunds if your student decides against taking the exam however we still require full payment for the exams they’ve registered for no later than March 1^st.

How to pay? Similar to last year families will use the “shop method” on our school’s payment processing system. I’ve included the link here; https://touchbase.bsd405.org/ below with detailed instructions as an attached pdf. 

If your student did not register for the exam during the regular registration window and would like to register for an exam, please contact Lynn Semler, AP Coordinator at semlerl@bsd405.org as soon as possible and no later than March 1^st. Exam fees during this late registration period are now $130 per exam.

Students on fee waivers are to notify the school accountant, Cathy Lanning at lanningc@bsd405.org if they intend to take the exam. If notified, fees are waived. If not notified NO Exam is Ordered. Late exam fees are NOT fee waiverable.

Inability to pay should not be a reason for a student not taking an exam. Scholarship opportunities are available for families and students who would benefit from financial assistance but who are not on the fee waiver program. Scholarship forms are included as an attachment. Completed forms to be submitted to either the student’s counselor or Lynn Semler, semlerl@bsd405.org prior to February 12^th .

Picture Make Up Day is next week, Tuesday, January 19^th!! If you didn’t have your picture taken, or you did and ordered portraits and would like a second try, start making plans now. Our photographers from Dorian have created a Sign Up Genius for students to reserve a time to have their picture taken. This should help reduce wait time. Go to the link below to select a time. Additional time slots will be added if necessary.  

Special Note: If you bought a 2019-2020 yearbook but haven’t had a chance to pick it up, you can do so at picture make-ups day, January 19^th from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Thank you to all those who donated to the Gratitude Fundraiser. We were able to raise almost $4000! We are extremely grateful for your generosity and support. If you did not have a chance to donate during the month of November, our page remains open and you can donate here.

While our awesome Grad Night Co-Chairs are still planning an amazing celebration, we also recognize that there may be a possibility that a grad night event may look very different this year. The Co-Chairs are working hard with several different plans to ensure that we can still honor our Seniors. However, we have made a decision not to sell any tickets until early spring when we can have more confidence in sharing with you the type of event we will be able to hold. 

Last week, Dr. Anderson sent an email with a link to purchase Caps & Gowns. Please get your orders in by January 30th (we confirmed that this is the correct date which was different from the email that students received). This is the information needed for yourorder:
