🚨 STUDENTS MUST HAVE THEIR PHYSICAL STUDENT ID CARD IN ORDER TO LEAVE CAMPUS. 🚨

For increased safety of our students on campus, VPHS Admin and Security Team are beginning to scan student ID cards as they leave campus on a "short day" or "athletic" period. Student ID numbers are scanned and our 5-star system keeps a log of exit times each day.

Students found without their ID will be subject to the following consequences for multiple ID violations.

1. Call to Parents
2. Lunch Detention Assigned

Need help with Math? We encourage students to attend our Morning Math Tutoring, led by our very own Math teachers Ms. Petrella and Ms. Capriles.

• Double Zero Period (7:35 - 8:24) - Room 213 - Ms. Petrella
• Zero Period (8:30 - 9:20) - Room 206 - Ms. Capriles

These tutoring options are available for ALL STUDENTS.

For the 2025 AP exams, students at Villa Park High School will be registering online. Online Exam registration will begin on Tue, Sep 10, 2024 at 8:00 AM and end on Tuesday, November 12, 2024 at 11:59 PM. The AP exam registration process is two steps, but both can be completed in one sitting when the student and parent/guardian do this together. Even if you do not plan to take the AP exam, you need to complete both steps to access the

College Board’s AP resources. Both steps must be completed in order to have AP exams ordered:

• Step 1: Begin the process by registering at www.TotalRegistration.net/AP/052279. Here you will indicate both the AP courses you are taking this year and the exams you wish to take. You will receive your join codes and directions to complete the second required step. Any exam fees will be paid online so be sure to have a debit card or credit card available before beginning registration. Paying online is a great way to make sure that payment has been made while avoiding mailing payment.
• Step 2: Use the join codes provided at the completion of step one to enroll the student's AP courses and exams in the College Board's system.

This year we will be using the 5-Star Students program at VP to maintain safety on campus and to help students increase their involvement on campus. Students can earn points for attending events and participating in activities.

On November 1 and 2, Mexicans celebrate Dia de Muertos. It is a day to honor and remember loved ones who have passed away. An altar is made on which people place pictures, candles, flowers and the favorite foods of our loved ones who are no longer with us.

Students in Spanish club and all Spanish classes made papel picado, paper flowers, mini ofrendas and colored skulls or alebrijes for the school ofrenda/altar. Spanish club hung the papel picado and set up the altar in the breezeway. Ballet Folklorico performed a few dances in the quad for the school to see.
