This is a process that all public schools go through every 5 years. Please help us complete this process by compleng this survey which is a required component of accreditaon. I know you have been surveyed to death this year, but we would appreciate your will- ingness to complete this survey before school gets out: hp:// eprovesurveys.advanc-ed.org/ surveys/#/acon/5861/11521 Amy Cislak, Principal Penguin Families, AP Exams started on Monday! Thank you to everyone who volunteered to help make things run smoothly! I am aware of the complications with the AP Spanish Language Ex- am. Apparently this happened nation wide. I have filed a strongly worded complaint on behalf of UHS and TUSD. I appreciate everyone’s advocacy and help on this issue! You do not need to call the attendance office to excuse your student if they are taking an AP exam—we are pre- excusing them for you! If you are helping a sport or fine art Boost Club, please see the flyer in this issue about a Tax Credit Workshop the district is sponsoring to help you increase and promote tax credit donations for your organization!
