	DAILY ANNOUNCEMENTS
	AP EXAM NOTICE (May 11, 2012) Today, over 50 students took the AP US History exam. About an hour after the test was over several students received phone calls from someone claiming to be from CollegeBoard Services. The caller claimed that a student was caught using a cell phone during the test and that all of the test scores would be invalidated. This is a false. This is an unfortunate hoax. Todd Beamer students have not violated the AP testing protocol. I have contacted CollegeBoard Services and confirmed that they have not contacted any Todd Beamer student regarding today's alleged incident. If a violation had occurred, CollegeBoard would first contact our principal, not our students. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Christy Siegman, Testing Coordinator at 253-945-2597.

Dear Parents and Guardians,

The school year seems to be flying by. Over 250 freshman students were recognized on Friday March 9th for attaining a 3.5 GPA or above first semester. Our IGNITE mentors provided ice cream sundaes with all the trimmings.

We now have an additional resource for parents and students to support student learning related to our Power Standards and Learning Targets in Math and Science. On our website, within the Power Standards documents for Math and Science families can find links to the Kahn Academy Instructional Videos. Visit the Federal Way home page to read the story about Kahn Academy and these valuable resources.
