Fall End of Semester Procedures
Below is information that teachers read to their 2nd period classes:
- All textbooks must be returned to your teacher before taking your final exam. Any lost or damaged books must be paid for prior to taking your exam.
- Be certain you are completely familiar with the exam schedule and when your exams will be given. Students will be expected to take exams at the scheduled times.
- Excused Absences: The only students who will be allowed to make up an exam are those who are ill and whose parents provide written notification to the appropriate subschool. All exams missed due to excused absences must be made up by appointment with the teacher. It is the student’s responsibility to make these arrangements.
- Unexcused Absences: Any student who does not take an exam and whose parent did not notify the school will receive a zero for the exam. Any extenuating circumstances to the above must be submitted by parents, in writing, to the sub school principals for consideration.
- Students are reminded to adhere to all policies concerning dress code and behavior. Any removal from class for disciplinary reasons will result in an unexcused absence which will require the student to make up the exam at a later time.
- During exams, students must stay in the classroom for the entire exam period.
- Students must leave campus once their finals are completed. Any student wishing to attend tutorials may return for that purpose only.
- Students should not visit other PISD campuses during exam week.
Teachers will be available for tutorials after school Monday through Thursday during exam week. Tutorial schedules will be posted in each teacher’s classroom. Attendance make-up hours can be earned by attending tutorials.
- Buses will run at 1:15 p.m. on December 17th, 18th, 19th, and 20th. Students should perhaps make plans for alternative transportation on Friday as one exam is scheduled and all students will be released by 11 AM.
- Students should visit Parent Portal on January 6th to access their 2nd semester schedule. These schedules will go “live” by noon on January 6. Zero hour classes will be held on January 7.
If you are not able to access your schedule, report to the library before school on January 7.
