Falcon Messenger

Dear Green Hope High School Families,

We have completed three full weeks of the second semester. Teachers will ensure that grades are updated. Please review Powerschool with your students to ensure that they are up to date on all of their assignments. Encourage your students to utilize the SMART Lunch tutorial sessions to effectively maximize their time! As a reminder, students are able to go to SMART Lunch on a "non-priority" day for a each class and are required to attend on Priority days when assigned by that teacher.

The SMART Lunch schedule is linked here.

I hope you all have a wonderful long weekend!

Sincerely,

Alison Cleveland, Principal

Green Hope students who are currently enrolled in second semester AP courses received AP exam registration information through their AP teachers in early February. Students were required to follow the directions in the AP Exam Information for Students document (below) and complete all tasks listed in the document by March 1st.

If students decide they do not want to take the exam for a second semester AP course, they must complete this AP Exam Cancellation form by March 1st. AP exam cancellation requests received after March 1st will not be honored.

The CollegeBoard unused/cancelled exam fee for this school year is $40. Students who do not complete the Google form (above) by March 1st and do not take the AP exam for a 2nd semester class will be responsible for paying the $40 fee.
