Important Notice for AP Students

All AP students must confirm access to their College Board (CB) account prior to the start of the school year. If you have multiple accounts, please consolidate them into a single account. This is essential because:

  • The school orders AP exams in October through your CB account.
  • College Board distributes AP coursework and resources through these accounts.
  • Your AP scores are issued and shared through this account.
Due to privacy regulations, Carver E&S staff are unable to assist with College Board account issues. Students must contact the College Board directly to resolve any account-related concerns.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know which projects to do?

All students should complete projects for the upcoming grade based on their roster. If you requested an AP course, elective, or foreign language, complete the assignment listed under AP Classes or Other Subjects. If you took courses out of sequence or have questions, email Dr. Johnson at djohnson5@philasd.org.

Are summer projects graded?

Yes. All summer projects will be graded. Summer projects for all Keystone subject-area courses and AP courses are mandatory.

What if I don't have a printer?

Most assignments will be submitted through Google Classroom. If you don't have an SDP account yet, complete the work through a personal account and you can move it over to your SDP account when school begins. For math projects, please do your best to copy the directions and problems onto notebook paper if you can't print the packets.

When will rosters be distributed?

Rosters will be available on all student logins in mid-August.
