Important AP Exam Update:
Below are some important AP exam and College Board changes designed to help and support students this school year:
Traditional face-to-face exam administrations will not take place. Students will take a 45-minute online free-response exam at home.
Some students may want to take the exam sooner rather than later, while the content is still fresh. Other students may want more time to practice. For each AP subject, there will be 2 different testing dates. However, we do not have those testing dates available to us yet. These dates and more details will be announced in early April.

IMPORTANT: New Tools and Resources Are Now Available to Students Navigating College Admissions
New NACAC tool helps students navigate the college admission process amid the coronavirus outbreak.
As a service to students and families, NACAC has created a new resource cataloging campus-specific changes in college admission events, deposit dates, and more as a result of the coronavirus outbreak.
The purpose of the tool—which features information from post-secondary institutions—is to make it easier for students and others to navigate the admission process during this unprecedented time of upheaval. So far, more than 460 colleges and universities from around the world have submitted their information.
Both public and private postsecondary institutions are included on the list. The resource will update in real-time as NACAC receives new information from colleges and universities.
“Students need reliable information to assist them in making informed choices during this uncertain time,” Jayne Caflin Fonash, the association’s president, said in a press release. “This collaborative resource does just that.”
Are you a Senior planning to go to Palomar College after you graduate? This is for you!
The Counseling Department has reserved a time slot for CAHS seniors to attend a Pathways Workshop to help decide their major, complete a Career Assessment, and take a tour of the Palomar College campus for Monday, April 20, 2020. Students must apply online first on the Palomar college website and get a student ID before they can attend this orientation.
Students should plan to meet at the Palomar College Clock Tower by 8:45am on April 20, 2020 (transportation is not provided by CAHS, carpooling is recommended). Students who will be driving can park in Parking lot 1 or 2 without any problems. The college will not be citing in those two parking lots on that day.
CAHS seniors are asked to meet at the Clock Tower at the front of the college by 8:45am. The events for this day will start promptly at 9am and will finish around 12:30pm. Lunch will not be provided by Palomar.
If you are interested in attending this day with other CAHS peers, please be sure to let Mrs. Mauhili in the counseling department know by seeing her in her office or emailing her at nmauhili@classicalacademy.com. You need to reserve your spot by Friday, April 3rd by providing her with your Palomar Student ID Number.

California State Update
The entire California State University system is taking all the necessary steps to mitigate the disruptions caused by COVID-19 while ensuring the health and safety for our students, faculty, staff and communities.
Please be assured that all CSU campuses are prepared to be as flexible as possible when working with fall 2020 applicants on meeting admission requirements and selection. This flexibility will vary by campus and potentially by major applied due to impaction. Although there has been disruption, as campuses transition to some or all staff working remotely, processing of applications and communications is still taking place. We would encourage fall 2020 applicants to continue to check their email and campus portals regularly.
If students have specific questions, they can contact campuses via email. Campus contact information can be found at: https://www2.calstate.edu/apply/Pages/contact-a-campus.aspx. We would encourage applicants to contact campuses via email and be patient while awaiting a response.
As more information becomes available we will send additional updates.
