Manheim Township High School's AP Policy

TEST DAY INFORMATION:

  • Arrive by 7:15 A.M. (AM exams) / 11:30 A.M. (PM exams)

  • No dismissals before the exam officially ends. If you play a sport or have a job, it is your responsibility to inform your coach or employer of your AP Exam obligation and arrangements should be made accordingly. Many afternoon AP Exams will NOT end prior to dismissal so alternate transportation arrangements will likely need to be made.
