Final Exam Information
FINAL EXAM REMINDER – Mandatory Attendance
Final exams are scheduled for the last 3 days of each semester.
First Semester Final Exam Dates: Dec. 17, 18, and 19 (No Parent Excused Absences Allowed)
Students are expected to attend these days to take their final exams.
Parent/student vacations should be scheduled after the end of each semester…noting that the second-semester exam schedule may change due to cancellation days.
Students may NOT be parent-excused on Final Exam days. Students are expected to be present in school each day and for the entire day during Final Exams.
Any student absent during final exams will be considered unexcused and will receive a zero on exams/projects/papers/etc., regardless of the time in which they were completed. For example, a student who is required to give a presentation before a final exam day for a final grade must be in attendance for the scheduled final exam day for that class to receive credit.
To provide students with the critically important scheduled review days, and to maintain test security, no exams will be given in advance of the scheduled days.
Please make plans accordingly. To preserve the integrity of Final Exams, exceptions will not be made.
