It's not too late to help proctor the FHS AP exams this week! Please sign up for a shift or two (some afternoons still have no volunteers), and/or volunteer your neighbor or older children who are home for summer break (anyone 18+ is able to be a test proctor).
We ask that proctors stay for the entire shift, but if you can only stay part of the time and still want to help, please email testing coordinator, Chrystal Ueltschi, at cmueltschi@fcps.edu with your availability. *Please Note: you cannot proctor an AP exam your student is scheduled to take, and you cannot be in the same room with any family member.
Please sign up here: AP Testing Proctor Sign-up.
FCPS substitutes are also needed to be full day paid proctors. Anyone interested who is already on FCPS payroll should email cmueltschi@fcps.edu. Thank you!
