Make sure you are logged into the student portal to view these, they will not show up in the parent portal. If the recommendation is not what you hoped for, have your student talk to their teacher or Mrs. Font.

Discussions where you are prepared and participate Summer reading/assignments Vocabulary is geared toward SAT prep Emphasis on critical thinking Emphasis on college level reading and writing
AP Level Classes: What Does It Take? AP classes are more rigorous than honors courses. Students should be prepared to read and take notes independently outside of school. After completing an AP class, students can take the AP exam and potentially receive college credit for that course if they receive a passing score. Taking an AP course shows colleges that students can handle college level work.
