AP Volunteers and Snack Donations!

by Newsletter Comment Closed

Hello LASA Families!

AP Testing runs from May 4 – May 15, and we need many many volunteers.
We have over 250 different shifts we need filled, for test monitors, hall monitors, breakfast and snack providers.
We also are looking for donations of snacks for the students who are testing.

Please sign up to volunteer here.

Please sign up to donate snacks here.

Things to know:

  • For HALL MONITOR slots, your student CANNOT be taking an AP test at that time. Even if you are monitoring
    in a different room, it is still not allowed.
  • If your student is taking a morning test, you CAN be a hall monitor for an afternoon test (and vice-versa).
  • For TEST MONITOR slots, your student CANNOT be taking that AP test, even if they are in a different room from the one you are assigned.
  • Anyone can be a Breakfast or Snack Volunteer, no matter when your student is taking AP exams.

Thank you!
