AP Testing
AP Testing Volunteer Proctors Still Needed for May 14, 15 and 16:
 No experience is needed to be a parent proctor – only an interest in helping our students! As a parent proctor, you would assist the FCPS Lead Proctor in the testing room with monitoring students and collecting materials during and after testing. Please note that parent proctors cannot serve in the same room with their student taking a test (or any room in which that same test is being conducted). For more details and/or to express interest in serving as a volunteer AP proctor, please contact Mr. Vogl (FHS Assessment Coach) at mwvogl1@fcps.edu. Thank you for your support of our AP students!
