Principal's Message

Dear Mustang Families,

Thank you to everyone who attended Back to School Night last week! We hope you enjoyed getting a glimpse of what makes Trabuco Hills High School such a special place. We truly appreciate your dedication to our students' success.

This week, we have a special flex schedule on Wednesday as we honor September 11 with a tribute during flex. We also have a busy week of home sporting events and would love to see you come out to support our Mustangs, including the home football game and the Mustang Maniac tailgate this Friday. Don’t forget to wear your USA gear to both the tailgate and the game!

We look forward to connecting with you on Friday and continuing to show our commitment to The Mustang Way. Have a wonderful week!

Ms. Alicia Foulk

Principal

ADD/DROP/LEVEL Changes Deadlines

The last day to drop a class without earning partial credit and a grade is the 30th day of each semester:

Fall Semester 2024: September 25, 2024

Spring Semester 2025: February 14, 2025

The last day to level down in rigor of a course (move from an H/AP/IB level to CP level of the same course) is the 30th day of each semester.

Fall Semester 2024: September 25, 2024

Spring Semester 2025: February 14, 2025

Please note that not all H/AP/IB courses have CP equivalents of the same course. For those H/AP/IB courses, students are advised to level-down by the 15th day of the semester, so they are able to add a new course to replace the H/AP/IB level course if an additional course is needed to meet the minimum course-load requirements for each grade-level (9th-11th graders must be enrolled in 6 courses; 12th graders must be enrolled in 5 courses).

Deadline to drop an H/AP/IB course AND add a replacement course:

Fall Semester 2024: September 4, 2024

Spring Semester 2025: January 28, 2025

If you have any questions, please visit the Guidance Office.

AP college board logo

Online Exam registration will begin on Monday, October 7, 2024 at 8:00am and end on Friday, March 7, 2025 at 11:59pm.

The AP exam registration process has two steps, but both can be completed in one sitting when the student and parent do this together.  Even if you do not plan to take the AP exam, you need to complete both steps to access the College Board’s AP resources.

Both steps must be completed in order to have an AP exam ordered.

Step 1:

Begin the process by registering with Total Registration.  Indicate the AP courses you are taking this year and the exams you wish to take.  You will receive your join codes and directions to complete the second required step.  Any exam fees will be paid online so be sure to have a debit or credit card available before beginning registration.  Paying online is a great way to make sure that payment has been made while avoiding mailing payment.

Step 2:

Use the join codes provided at the completion of step one to enroll the student’s AP courses and exams in the College Board’s system.

Please note: both of the above steps must be completed in order to have an exam(s) ordered.

This year each AP exam costs $110.00.  Trabuco Hills High School desires that every student be able to take their AP exams.  Students requiring financial assistance should contact Kimberly Lindsay, kimberly.lindsay@svusd.org in the Guidance office to learn more.
