If your student is currently taking an Advanced Placement class, please take time to read the following message:

On Tuesday, September 10th, teachers will help students “digitally activate” (join) their classes in their AP accounts. This will allow students to access resources from College Board. Students will then have until October 30th to decide if they are taking the AP exam in May. If they choose to take the exam, they must then register and make payment via My Payments Plus by October 30th. Information regarding My Payments Plus is below and will also be shared with your child in their AP class.

The PSAT/NMSQT will be offered to 10th and 11th grade CB West students on Saturday, October 26th, 2024. Visit the West high school testing page for complete ordering information and details about this upcoming exam: Central Bucks West Testing Page. The window for parents to register on My Payments Plus (MPP) is open between Friday, Aug 16th and Sunday, September 15th. Each exam costs $30.

We are not able to take late registrations, so please do not wait to sign up!

We look forward to continuing our partnership with parents through the 2024-2025 Central Bucks

Our first meeting will take place next Wednesday, September 18th in the Tower Room off of the Main Lobby, beginning at 9:00am and concluding at 10:30am.

We hope you will be able to participate in our 2024-2025 Parent Council.

Laptop Breakage

We have seen a rise in the amount of screen breaks for student laptops. Our policy covers for 2 broken screens per device. If your child’s laptop screen breaks 3 times, we will be required to send you an invoice for the repair and labor. The current cost for this is $150. Please remind your child to care for their laptops. Some simple steps to assist are:

• Use two hands when holding or moving the device.
• Use clean hands while using the laptop or iPad.
• Use only the provided digital pen or finger on the screen.
• Use only the power adapter that came with the device.
• Use a microfiber cloth to clean the screen.
• Keep device stored in the provided case. This includes traveling through the hallways, on buses, or anytime the device is not being utilized.
• Make sure nothing is on the keyboard, close the lid, and remove all cables if any are plugged into the laptop. Place laptop in your bag carefully.
• Be careful when placing your case on the floor. Keep the device off the floor so screens do not get stepped on by others.

Our goal each day is make sure that all students, faculty, buses, and drivers exit our school campus safely. To ensure that safety, we are requesting that you please reinforce safe driving habits with your student driver. There have been several vehicle accidents that may have been prevented through safer driving practices.

• Drivers should maintain a speed of 15 MPH or less while driving on MacFarlane and in the school zone area.
• Drivers are to stop for pedestrians entering the crossing areas.
• Drivers are not to change lanes on MacFarlane
• Drivers should not be using electronic devices while driving.
• Drivers/Students should not be yelling from one vehicle to the next or getting out of one vehicle to get in another.
• Please try to limit the number of passengers in the car with your student. This will assist in being more attentive while driving.

Thank you for your assistance !
