Dear AST Families and Friends,

P-T Conferences, Report Card Schedule, and Procedures for Appointments

As teachers complete marking assignments, exams, and projects during the next two weeks for this third quarter of the academic calendar, please take note of the procedures to follow for appointments for teachers on Friday, April 9. This information is being provided at this time since there is a Spring Break from March 25 until classes start again on April 6.

Also, please note that report cards will be sent home with students on Wednesday, April 7. There will be two copies; one for you to keep and one for your child to bring back the next day, April 8, to the school registrar, Amy.

Earthquake / Fire Evacuation Drill

The Faculty, Staff and I have discussed and decided on new procedures following a presentation by Ms. Riley, Ms. Hsu, and Ms. Danzinger. We will have our first evacuation drill before the Spring Break.

Standardized Testing / External Exams

We prepare and organize schedules for three types of external exams at AST; P/SAT, Stanford, and AP.

  • The Stanford tests involving grades 3-9 will be administered between April 26 and April 29.

  • AP practice exams will be administered between April 23 and April 30.

  • Actual AP tests will be administered between May 5 and May 13.

  • PSAT are administered in October and Math and English teachers do classroom preps prior to the test.

Stanford test questions should be directed to Ms. O’ Sullivan at extension 24.

AP and P/SAT test questions should be directed to particular teachers or Mr. Stein at extension 16.
