Tuesday, October 24 – Testing / eLearning
This Tuesday, October 24, our sophomores will take the PreACT and some of our seniors will take the WorkKeys. This is a reminder that no personal electronic devices may enter the classroom (personal laptops, tablets, cell phones, smartwatches, etc.). The only devices permitted in the testing classrooms are the Trussville City Schools issued Chromebooks. Freshmen, juniors, and seniors not taking the WorkKeys are eLearning. Students testing should:
- Get a good night’s sleep
- Eat a protein-rich breakfast
- Bring your fully charged TCS issued Chromebook
AP Exam Fees - Pending Deadline
We are pleased that your student has chosen to take at least one Advanced Placement (AP) class for the 2023 – 2024 school year. Each exam is now $40.00 thanks to our partnership with A+ College Ready. This fee must be paid by November 9, 2023.
An on-line payment system is available for electronic payments through https://trussvilleal.csiepay.com/ and on the Trussville City Schools’ online registration website. Checks or cash payments will also be accepted at our school or by visiting Mrs. Reeser in the HTHS Finance Office. All checks should be made out to Hewitt-Trussville High School.
Orders placed after November 15, 2023, will incur an additional late order fee of $40 per exam for a total of $80 per exam. Cancellations made after November 15, 2023, will not be refunded and incur a $40 cancellation fee per The College Board. The dates of the AP exams are scheduled for May 6 through May 17, 2024. Please make every effort to schedule vacations, appointments, or other activities on dates that do not conflict with the testing dates. We wish your child a successful academic experience.
