Last Days

Everyone turned in their final labs - yay! I am slowly grading my way through those. In the meantime, keep turning in missing work and extra credits - they are due by 8 AM on Friday.

I will be gone for graduation practice on Thursday morning, so if you need blank copies of missing worksheets, you need to ask for them before Thursday.

Remember, if you want a recommendation letter for the fall, please fill out the form here: Volkening Recommendation Request.

Update on AP Test Timing Issue

An update on the AP Physics test timing issue: It’s time for you and your parents to contact the College Board directly if you are concerned and want to do a make-up test in entirety or just the free response. We’re not sure what the CB will allow.

Please do not throw TUSD or UHS under the bus; they tried to advocate for us, twice, to no avail.

If you do call, you need to emphasize that it was over 10 minutes of time lost. The CB might not see 10 minutes as an issue but because of the way the test is designed and directions are spelled out (ie:  recommended time for students to spend on each question) it might have been an issue for you.

If you want to have your score cancelled and want a refund, please tell me so that I can get a list to Ms. Cislak.


Please talk to me or Ms. Cislak directly if you have any questions. I am very sorry that this happened to you after all your hard work and studying.
