PARENT NOTES

*         Attention Parents of Advanced Placement (AP) Students:  All AP exams will be available for purchase beginning December 1, 2017.  The cost of each AP exam offered through college-board is $94.  You may purchase the exams either in the Finance Office on campus OR on the EDHS web-store online.  All test purchases must be made no later than February 15, 2018.  No deposit is required, but exams must be paid in full by February 15th for El Diamante to order your exam from College Board.  If your student is taking multiple exams you can purchase one exam at a time to help break up the payments.  (If your student currently qualifies for free OR reduced lunch they can inquire about a reduced test price in the Student Services Office).  Any student who does not purchase their exams IN FULL by February 15th will not have an exam ordered due to ordering deadlines and procedures implemented by the Collegeboard.
