PHOENIX FAMILY UPDATE
April 23rd
‌
Dear AFUP community, 

As you are no doubt aware, on Wednesday, the judge in the trial of Derek Chauvin announced that the jury found him guilty on all three counts in the murder of George Floyd. We await sentencing, but the maximum sentence for the most serious second degree murder charge is 40 years in prison.

We need time to process this news. We hope that the family of George Floyd has found some degree of comfort, some measure of justice. Today, the jury said, loudly and clearly, that George Floyd’s life mattered. It only took them ten hours to do so. 

We know that that verdict didn’t just happen. We are thinking of the brave young woman who videotaped the murder and testified in court; of the tens of thousands of people across the country who marched demanding justice for George Floyd; indeed, of the generations of Americans who have fought for the dignity of equal citizenship, for the equal protection of the laws, and for the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for everyone.

Update regarding 2020-21 Advanced Placement (AP) exams schedule:
We are close to finalizing the schedule for this year’s AP exams. Once it has been finalized, we will email the schedules to students and families, and it will be posted on the school’s Website. Please check your email in the coming weeks for more information about this year’s AP exams.

AP Digital Testing App:
This year, the College Board has created an app that students will use to take AP exams. Students who are planning to take an AP exam on their personal laptop or PC and not an AF Chromebook will need to download and install this app to take AP exams this year. An email has been sent to all students who are scheduled to take an AP exam this year with more information about downloading and installing the AP Digital Testing App from the College Board’s Website.

Public Health, Safety & Advocacy in Our Communities Part II
Achievement First Advocacy team will be hosting Public Health, Safety & Advocacy in Our Communities Part II: What You Need to Know about the COVID-19 Vaccine, Variants & COVID Testing. Our last virtual forum had over 240 attendees and based on demand, we want to continue the conversation around access to accurate public health information around the COVID-19 vaccine and programs around testing and tracing.
 
This time around we will delve deeper and provide families with direct access around the vaccine and testing on the ground as well as ways they can advocate to help expand awareness around access and equity. We will be joined by health experts, elected officials and advocates who will discuss public policy on COVID-19, variants, vaccine distribution/access, the science behind how the vaccine works and more. This event will be in English & Spanish and is open to the general public. Register by 03/23 here. The corresponding event flyers found HERE (English) or HERE (Spanish).
