NEW - ONLINE ATTENDANCE REPORTING TOOL
STVM families can now report a student’s full-day absence, late arrival, or early dismissal online through their MyIrish account.
This new feature provides a simple, convenient way to submit attendance information and helps strengthen communication between families and the school.
Going forward, online reporting is available and is the preferred method for reporting an absence, early dismissal or late arrival.
As of now, families may continue to report an absence, late arrival, or early dismissal by phone.
AP EXAM REGISTRATION & PAYMENT INFO
Registration is now open for the 2026–2027 AP exams. Each exam costs $99.
To order an exam, students must submit the AP Exam Order Form and pay a non-refundable $40 deposit for each exam by 3 p.m. on Friday, October 30, 2026. The remaining balance for all exams must be paid by April 1, 2027. Payments may be made online or in the Bookstore.
The College Board charges a $40 fee for exam order changes made after the applicable final ordering deadline. This fee also applies to students who are eligible for exam fee waivers.
November 13, 2026: Deadline for full-year and first-semester course exams
March 12, 2027: Deadline for second-semester course exams
To avoid additional fees, students should confirm that their exam designation is marked accurately in each AP Classroom.
Students paying in person must return the completed order form to the Bookstore with payment to finalize their order. Questions regarding AP testing should be directed to Mrs. McElhaney in Room 342.
