Exemption Requirements for JCHS Final Exams (as written in the Student Handbook):  

• Students will be given the opportunity to exempt a final exam if the student has an A (weighted average) in the course.

• An exempted assessment is not counted in the gradebook.

• A final exam does NOT include an EOC, EOPA, or other mandated assessment.

To verify if your student is exempt from a JCHS Final Exam please:

• Check your student's coursework average via the Infinite Campus Portal.  A student is exempt from the final exam if their coursework average is a weighted 90 or higher. Parents/Guardians and Students have access to the Infinite Campus Portal. Find out more information about downloading the Infinite Campus Parent app and setting up notifications HERE.

• Students received prior notification in class if they are exempt from any JCHS Final Exams administered on December 19th & 20th. In addition, students received an Exam Exemption Notification Form on PINK paper to obtain Teacher Signatures indicating exam exemption per course if they wanted a "hard copy" version to share with parents/guardians.

• Students will not be counted absent on Monday, December 19th and Tuesday, December 20th if exempted from an exam. 

If you have any questions, please contact your student's teachers.

Congratulations to all of our amazing students who made the 2023 District 14 Honor Band!
