Parking
Because of the lack of available parking directly beside First Baptist Church, students and parents will park in the parking lot across from First United Methodist Church bordered by Union and Matthews. Students will cross Matthews and walk up Union Street to the northern entrance of First Baptist.
Please leave the single row and first double row of parking spaces closest to Union Street open for FUMC use. There are 54 spaces available in the main lot across from Matthews. Students may park behind the first rows in that lot all the way from Matthews southward to the next paved lot and into the gravel lot where you will see vehicles with the FUMC logos parked. Use any of the parking in this lot except the rows closest to Union Street.
Because of the daycares at both churches, no parking is permitted along the curbs on Union Street or in the First Baptist Church parking lot off of Matthews and Main.

Dismissal and Conduct
Students may not be dismissed until an exam has officially ended. If a student plays a sport or has a job, it is the student’s responsibility to inform her coach or employer of her AP Exam obligation, and arrangements should be made accordingly.
Students are allowed to bring a snack and beverage to the testing site for your 10-minute break. JPS will be offering students snacks during the break in the examination. However, food and drink are prohibited in the exam room. It is advisable to bring a sweater, in case the room temperature is below your comfort level.
You are required to abide by the policies of both the College Board and Jonesboro Public Schools during the exam period. Any misconduct will be reported and could jeopardize your AP Exam score. Since this activity is occurring off-campus, you will need to complete the attached permission slip and have a parent or guardian sign it. Please note that you are not required to attend school on the day of your exam(s). An attendance roster will be published for the school prior to and after an exam.
Be sure to review the 2016-17 Bulletin for AP Students and Parents that your student received in January and can be accessed at jonesboroschoolsap.weebly.com/
