[log in to unmask] To all parents and family members of our IB and Pre-IB Students: Have a wonderful Spring Break! IB Senior Celebration:
All parents of 204 IB Seniors who are interested in serving on the planning committee for the
2024 IB Senior Celebration, please contact Dr. Williams by email at
[log in to unmask].
Dr. Williams would like to schedule a preliminary planning meeting as soon after spring break as possible to discuss how we can honor this year’s seniors and so the IB Senior Celebration Parent Notebook can be passed along to this year’s committee.
Also, if you are a parent of an IB Junior, you are welcome to participate in this committee. Parents of IB Juniors have helped with senior celebrations in the past in order to plan more effectively their own student’s senior celebration the following
year. Parents of older siblings who have helped plan previous IB Senior Celebrations are also welcome to attend and share their perspectives and ideas.
Please contact Dr. Williams as soon as possible so we can set up an initial planning meeting.
The UPDATED Draft of AP and IB Exam Chart Attached:
Please see the attached most current draft of the combined AP and IB Exam Schedule. Approved resolutions of IB Exam conflicts for individual students are highlighted on this chart. If your IB student has a schedule
conflict between any IB and AP Exams – or between any AP Exams and an EOC, FAST, or other mandatory statewide assessment – please notify both Mrs. Melissa Cooper and Dr. Williams by email as soon as possible so we can schedule your student for a Late AP Exam.
Late AP Exams are only offered with permission from Mrs. Melissa Cooper, our AP Coordinator.
2023 IB Diplomas and Transcripts are in:
The 2023 IB Diplomas and IB Transcripts have arrived from Cardiff, Wales, UK. 2023 IB graduates or their parents can pick them up from Dr. Williams in the front office at Rickards. Please email or call ahead so Dr.
Williams can leave your IB Diploma and/or IB Transcript at the front office for you, in case he is not available when you come to campus. |
