Please take time to read the AP Bulletin for AP Students and Parents.  It contains important information about exams, dates, times and rules.  Pay close attention to what is and what is NOT allowed in the room on the day of the exam.  WHS requires that all cell phones and electronic devices be left in your lockers or vehicles.  No bags of any kind will be allowed in or near the testing area.  Snacks will be provided during the break.  

AP TESTING takes a lot of brain power, stamina, and focus, so…on the exam day, students do NOT have to attend classes before or after the testing.  Students will need to have their own transportation if they want to go home early or arrive late. If you do NOT want your student to miss WHS classes before or after AP testing, please email Mr. Kordalewski at akordalewski@d118.org.

Morning AP test students:  Testing begins at 8 am.  Please arrive no later than 7:30 am in the hall between Aux Gym 2 and the boys locker rooms.  AP tests are typically completed by 11:30 am. Students may leave at the end of testing, using their own transportation to get home. Students must have a parking pass to park at WHS.  If students choose to stay for classes, they will go to the cafeteria to eat immediately after testing and then they will attend 6th-8th period classes.  

2 tests SAME DAY:  Students will eat lunch in the cafeteria between the 2 testing times.

Afternoon AP test students:  The test will begin at 12 pm.  Students should plan on arriving no later than 11:30 am in the hall between Aux Gym 2 and the boys locker rooms.  Students who choose to come to school at the regular time in the morning will go to 1st-4th period classes and then get released from class to eat lunch at 11:20 am (midway through 5th period Monday-Thursday/the last 10 minutes of 4th period on Friday).  Students do NOT have to attend morning classes.  They can arrive late to school at 11:40 am with their own transportation.  Students must have a parking pass to park at WHS.   The afternoon test will run about 3 hours and 15 minutes ending around 3:30 pm.  Students will need a ride home  OR they can take the 5:30 late bus OR  if they talk to me, Mr. Kordalewski, ahead of time, I can add them to the 3:30 Tech bus that can drop them off near home.
