At the first of the school year, all students agreed--with the signed consent of their parents--to come to the morning review sessions in the spring. Beginning the week of March 31, those sessions will begin. Next Monday, we will begin review sessions four days a week. Monday and Tuesday sessions will take place in our classroom, and will begin at 7:00 AM and end at 7:30. For morning sessions, the door will close at 7:00. Late students will not get credit for attendance that day. Wednesday/Thursday Sessions will take place in the classroom at lunch. For lunch sessions, the door will close at 11:30.

Each student--even those who do not plan to take the AP test--must attend at least two sessions per week.

If, for good reason, you cannot make at least two sessions per week, you may, as an alternate, write a paper for each session missed. The paper must be at least 600 words and must be topical--on the topic of the review missed.

Topics for the sessions will be as follows. This is a tentative list and may change somewhat:
