Advanced Placement Exams and COVID-19

By

Advanced Placement exams are still going to be conducted in school buildings for certain students according to the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. They have released their plan as to how to issue the AP exams, yet not spread COVID-19 infection. It is up to local schools to make sure the rules are followed.

According to their plan, students and staff will be required to wear face coverings at all times. All students and staff must apply hand sanitizer upon entering the building. Students will be monitored by staff while in the building while still maintaining social distance. Social distancing standards of at least 6 feet will be maintained before, during, and after test administration.

How will they protect students and staff from contracting COVID-19 from the beginning of the AP exams to end?  Check back here as we will list how they plan on achieving this goal.  Their AP testing plan may be a sign of what is to come for everyone once they decide to open up schools again for all students.

Breaking News: In-Person Advanced Placement Testing

By

Advanced Placement exams for 2020 will still be conducted in-person at local schools on a limited basis, despite the COVID-19 pandemic. The option to test at a school will only be made to a restricted number of students. Only those students who do not have adequate access to a computer and internet connectivity at home will be allowed to take an AP exam in a school building. This shocking news is according to a newly released memo from the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. They published guidance for Advanced Placement testing for school districts.

Check back here as we will post their plan as to exactly how they will be allowing students and staff into school buildings to conduct these tests, while keeping everyone safe from COVID-19.

Fiske Elementary School Wellesley Tutoring

Y3K Tutor In Your Home is supporting the Fiske Elementary School Auction with a tutoring and test preparation donation.  The auction is one of the school’s main fundraisers.  The funds raised at the auction go directly to the Fiske PTO to support programs such as METCO, which enables minority children from Boston to attend Wellesley Public Schools and English Learning Language (ELL) teaching non-English speaking students to develop a proficiency in English.  In addition to these programs, the auction provides funding for curriculum enrichment programs, library books, classroom technology and supplies, playground equipment, and other necessary school expenditures not covered by the school budget. 

With the Y3K Tutor In Your Home tutoring donation and your bids, we hope to continue to provide greater learning opportunities for the Fiske Elementary School students of Wellesley, MA.  This is a great way to give back to the Wellesley community which is why we plan on making this donation an annual tradition.
