IMPORTANT TO NOTE:
Final assessments will be administered in all courses. Final assessments are required.
Some Final Assessments occur over time before Exam Periods. The Exam Period is still a required course meeting to hand this assignment in and hold a final critique/checkout procedure.
Students are expected to remain in the scheduled class period for the duration of the testing period.
Students may be exempt from school for the makeup/remediation portion as well as the FLEX period as long as the following criteria are met:
Students are passing all course competencies
The teacher has not requested the student
Students have a written dismissal note (paper or email) on file with the main office for FLEX periods. Emails should be sent to: hsattendance@kearsarge.org
Make-up Final Assessments will only be administered to students with valid, documented absences and approved by an administrator.
Students in CRTC will follow the exam schedule above. Any conflicts that create absences at CRTC will be excused.
Students are expected to be present for each of their classes during these dates. An unexcused absence from a final assessment period will result in a zero for the work due that day. Students will not be allowed to make up the work if this occurs.
Students who need to reschedule an assessment for another day should pick up an exam rescheduling form from the main office.
Buses will run at regular times. Please note that June 18th is a half-day and is to be used for any emergency make-up final assessments; this is not for any remediation. Any emergency makeup final assessments must be approved by an administrator and worked out with the teacher in advance. No remediation will be available on June 18th.
