  Please click on the letter from Mr. Murphy regarding the 2020 AP Exams.

  Furthermore, the College Board has released the following two updates regarding AP students affected by school closures due to COVID-19.

  • • AP teachers from across the country will be running these sessions. Check for the schedule here.
    • They are optional, mobile-friendly, and available on-demand.
    • The sessions will focus on reviewing content from the first 75% of the course. There will also be lessons that cover the last 25% of the course.
    • Continue working on your ALVS AP course, since your ALVS course and teacher are still great resources for exam preparation.

  • • Students will be able to complete the exam on a computer, tablet, or smartphone.
    • The exams will be 45-minute online free-response exams.

• New Community Service Procedures

  Pearl River High School is now using an online tracking and reporting system for service hours called x2VOL that is accessible through Naviance Student.  This system eliminates the need for paper forms and allows students to enter their service hours online at any time, check and register for volunteer opportunities, receive reminders about the opportunities and print a service hour log that can be used as a reference for college applications and the National Honor Society.  Please see the Community Service page on the Guidance site for detailed information.
