Important Message about AP Testing!!!!!!!
Hello AP testers,
As a final note, Mr. Brodrick wanted to remind you of a few things before AP exams begin next week:
- The Week 1 schedule has been posted at 3 different locations in the commons, as well as on the wall across from the upstairs AP office. Mr. Brodrick sent this same information to you on the afternoon of April 17th. If you have any question about testing times and locations, please ask your AP teacher, Mr. Brodrick, or some other adult.
- Please note that if you are taking an exam that is listed as “AM,” you need to be at your testing location by 7:15 am. For an exam listed as “PM,” you need to be at your testing location by 11:15 am. Please do not be late.
- Mr. Brodrick cannot cancel any AP exams at this point. If you decide to no show for an exam for which you have registered and paid, College Board will charge you a $40/exam no-show fee
- If you paid the standard $98/exam fee, you will receive a partial refund
- If you are on free/reduced lunch, you have only paid $21/exam. Mr. Brodrick will need to collect an additional $19/exam for which you no-show. Mr. Brodrick will have this charge posted to your Skyward account, and this usually results in a hold on your account
- You need to have a photo ID in order to check-in to your AP exam(s)
- Student ID, driver’s license, and passport all work. You can also bring a printout of your Skyward profile, as long as it has your name and photo. You CANNOT show me a screenshot on your phone, as your phone should be off once you are in the testing area. Take care of this TODAY – please do not wait until the day of your exam!

FBISD Health and Safety Protocols & How to Report Testing Positive for COVID-19
The health & safety of students, teachers, and staff is the District’s foremost priority. Students and staff should stay home when sick, and if they do test positive for COVID-19, self-report using the FBISD Wellness Screener. Individuals can return to school/work once they meet the following requirements: five days have passed since the start of symptoms (if no symptoms, five days after testing positive), improvement of symptoms, and the individual has been fever-free for 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medications.
