In our district, we encourage those with the heaviest AP loads to take a free period. In fact, you don’t qualify for a free period unless you have an acceptable GPA and a rigorous (at least 2 APs) schedule. This is to ensure they have enough time to do well in their AP classes, stay on top of their applications, and protect their mental health. Too many seniors were giving up sleep to stay on top of their course load.
