The dates are tentatively Thursday May 14 (hopefully leaving after school) to Tuesday May 19, 2020. These are not arbitrary dates chosen by boosters, they center around Victoria Day which next year is on Monday May 18. And we usually have a music clinic (such as at University of Washington), which is much easier to schedule on a Friday. We will be determining many more details to follow, but we have a question to ask you:</div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><br clear="none"></div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">Usually Victoria Day falls after AP tests are done. However, next year the dates just happen to not align well, and there are still AP exams happening that Thursday and Friday. The current 2020 AP schedule for those days are:</div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><br clear="none"></div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><br clear="none"></div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><div><table class="ydp808eb68fyiv5851939115ydp3f02dcadtable ydp808eb68fyiv5851939115ydp3f02dcadcb-vertical-top" id="ydp808eb68fyiv5851939115ydp3f02dcadcustomScrollbar_MMyXzHnmaC" width="558" style="border-collapse: collapse; border: none; width: 754px; max-width: 100%; margin-bottom: 0px; color: rgb(80, 80, 80); font-size: 0.875em; line-height: 1.42857em; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif;"><tbody><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="padding: 10px; line-height: 1.5; border: 1px solid rgb(178, 178, 178); vertical-align: top !important;"><p style="margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.5em;"><span style="font-weight: 700;">Thursday,<br clear="none">May 14, 2020</span></p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="padding: 10px; line-height: 1.5; border: 1px solid rgb(178, 178, 178); vertical-align: top !important;"><p style="margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.5em;">Comparative Government and Politics</p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.5em;">World History: Modern</p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="padding: 10px; line-height: 1.5; border: 1px solid rgb(178, 178, 178); vertical-align: top !important;"><p style="margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.5em;">Italian Language and Culture</p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.5em;">Macroeconomics</p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="padding: 10px; line-height: 1.5; border: 1px solid rgb(178, 178, 178); vertical-align: top !important;"><p style="margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.5em;"><span style="font-weight: 700;">Friday,<br clear="none">May 15, 2020</span></p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="padding: 10px; line-height: 1.5; border: 1px solid rgb(178, 178, 178); vertical-align: top !important;"><p style="margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.5em;">Computer Science Principles</p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.5em;">French Language and Culture</p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="padding: 10px; line-height: 1.5; border: 1px solid rgb(178, 178, 178); vertical-align: top !important;"><p style="margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.5em;">Statistics</p></td></tr></tbody></table></div><br clear="none"></div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">The subjects in the left column are at 8 AM, the right column at 12 pm.</div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><br clear="none"></div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">So here's the question: are there any students who are considering taking any of these tests next year?
