AP exam registration
Registration for the 2021-22 AP exams are now open! This applies to any students currently enrolled in an AP class that plans to take the exam in the spring.
Step 1: Join your AP class using the join code provided by your teacher. This will need to be completed for every AP class in which you are enrolled.
Step 2: For any class in which you are planning to test, you will need to change your exam status from “Undecided” to “Yes.” This option becomes available once you have completed step 1. If you are not planning to take an exam for a class, you will leave the status at “Undecided.”
Step 3: Payment
AP exams: $100
AP Capstone (Seminar and Research): $150
~Payments can be processed by clicking on the following link. If you are unable to pay through the online payment website due to an extenuating circumstance, please contact your home school’s AP coordinator. https://rochesteronline.ce.eleyo.com
If proof of payment is not received by October 25, 2021, you are at risk of an exam not being ordered for you.
Step 4:
Bring your online receipt to your home school’s counseling office. If we are still in remote learning, or you attend the Virtual Campus, you can drop it off in the vestibule of the school in the labeled box. YOU MUST WRITE THE NAME(S) OF THE EXAM(S) YOU PAID FOR ON THE RECEIPT before dropping it off. You can also email your receipt with exams being ordered noted on the receipt to this email address: mburcham@rochester.k12.mi.us
Second semester AP Classes
If you are taking a semester 2 only AP class (AP Macroeconomics), there will be a second payment window after the new year for you to pay for these tests only. We are not accepting payment for these semester 2 tests at this time. This window will only be open to second semester classes.
As a general policy, there are no refunds for AP exams. Students that sign up for an AP exam have made a commitment to properly prepare for the test. Therefore, feeling unprepared will not be considered as a reason for a refund. If an unexpected circumstance were to arise, please see your counselor. This policy may be revisited should there be a change to the College Board’s AP testing administration.

class of 2022 - senior picture information
Dear Parents and Students of the Class of 2022,
All seniors for the class of 2022 need to get their YEARBOOK PHOTO taken by Prestige Portraits. This service is provided free of charge and includes inclusion in the yearbook, as well as on the class composite. Students must have their yearbook photo taken by October 30, 2021 in studio (see address below). Once the photos are processed, students/parents must choose their preferred photo by November 15, 2021. If a pose is not chosen by that date, the studio will choose a pose to be submitted. Prestige will then send the photo directly to Mrs. Millard. There is nothing else that the student (or parent) needs to do in order to appear in the yearbook or on the class composite.
Students and parents will still have the opportunity to go to their preferred choice of photographer, if it is not Prestige Portraits, for their other senior photos. While only the yearbook pose sitting fee is FREE OF CHARGE, Prestige will be offering significant discounts for other senior picture packages as well.
Please remember that this is a more formal section of the yearbook than the underclassmen photo section. Because of this, students need to dress up - shirt/tie, collared shirt, dress, blouse, etc. All clothing needs to meet these specifications and the RCS dress code policy in order to be included in the yearbook and on the class composite. If you (or your child) need help obtaining proper attire, need more information regarding attire, or need help with transportation to the studio, please contact Mrs. Millard at smillard@rochester.k12.mi.us.
Please call 248-377-2444 or go online at https://bit.ly/PRESTIGE_OAKLANDTWP and make a senior portrait appointment as soon as possible. Although the deadline to be photographed is October 30, 2021, appointments fill quickly. Students who do not get their yearbook photo taken with Prestige by the deadline will not appear in the senior section of the yearbook.
