Fee Reduction Info for AP/IB Testing
From SPS, information on low-cost AP/IB testing:
SAT: Next Wednesday, Seattle Public Schools will be administering the SAT to all juniors during a regular school day at no cost. The SAT normally carries a fee of at least $52.50.
The district is offering this free SAT Day to open higher education opportunities to all students. More info here.
(Editor's note: as well, the district is offering for scores to be sent to colleges/universities (up to 4) for free AND students get lunch and snacks. This is really great but boy, I wish I had gotten this info sooner to alert more parents.)
AP and IB: The Test Fee Reduction Program for Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB) and Cambridge Capstone program exams, gives students from low-income families a significant break on fees for taking these tests. This year's fee of $12 per exam is down by one-third from last year and applies to an unlimited number of AP exams. More information at www.k12.wa.us/AdvancedPlacement/testfee.aspx.

Personally, I think this is great so while we are opting out of common core test in April, our junior will be taking advantage of this free test.

Good Morning Junior Families!
Wednesday is the School Day SAT.
All juniors should arrive at 7:45. Go to the Gym.
It is very important to bring:
The admission ticket that came in the mail, ID, #2 pencils and a calculator
Snacks will be provided during the breaks
A sack lunch is available after the test
RELAX!

My student informed me that an "anonymous" donor has stepped forward and there were classroom discussions whether or not the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is paying for the test.
