Please take a few minutes to complete this brief survey to provide feedback to the administration at Matanzas High School. This survey is used to set goals and identify areas for improvement to our school. Thank you for taking the time to respond.

While we have a lot of fun activities going on next week for the last week of school, now that laptops are returned, we ask that students only bring a small purse or string bag with necessary personal items next week.

Tuesday, May 27th (AM): AICE Biology

Tuesday, June 10th (AM): AICE Biology

Students should check with their AICE/AP teacher for their testing location and exact start/end times for testing. Please review the “AICE Testing Procedures for Students” slide presentation shared on Schoology to ensure students have the appropriate materials ready to bring to testing and that they do not bring any prohibited items into the testing room. Please encourage your students to get a good night’s rest, eat breakfast and show up on time to their exams.

All families are required to complete the online Annual Registration process to ensure their student is properly enrolled at MHS next year. This process includes the completion of required forms for students to pick up their laptops during distribution this summer. Please use the Flagler Parent Portal Link below to complete this process and be ready for August!

Each exam series, students receive a form with their personal credentials for logging in to access exam scores. Directions are provided in that form. Students received a paper copy of their login credentials during testing in May of this year. Matanzas will also email these forms towards the end of summer in preparation for the June results. Results will be available on August 12th. Cambridge requires a quick turnaround for registering for Retakes. Please be aware that students will only have 48 hours to submit their requests for a Retake Exam once the scores are released.

This link Bright Futures and AICE contains the email sent to all AICE Seniors on May 14th. It has information regarding Bright Futures, AICE Transcripts and a request for a non-Flagler Schools email address for future correspondence.

Want to get involved and help create more memories for your AICE student? We would like to create an AICE Parent Booster Club. If you are interested, please email Erin Davis at davise@flaglerschools.com
