AP Proctor Volunteers Needed
Parents are needed to help WP staff proctor AP exams. Parents may proctor
any exam your child is not taking. Volunteers should check into the main office
and then report to the main gym in Gunston (with the exception of the
Comparative Government exam in room 135). All morning exam volunteers should
arrive by 7:45 AM and afternoon exam volunteers should arrive by noon.
Volunteers should be prepared to stay until the end of the exam, which will be
3 and a half to 4 hours. Your support is greatly appreciated as it helps
free up staff to continue to work elsewhere in the building with students.
Thank you for your support! Sign up here.
