AP Exam Proctoring: Parents Needed!
Hello AWHS Parents,
We’d love your help supporting our students during AP exams! We’re looking for parent volunteers to assist with proctoring.
We will update this in February.
Please sign up for a shift that works best for your schedule. Note: Parents may only proctor exams that their own student is not taking.
Thank you for helping make AP testing run smoothly for our students — more details will be shared as we get closer to exam day!
