FINALS SCHEDULE FOR S1
The first-semester final exams are scheduled from December 19 through December 22. The final exam schedule will be three final exam periods on days one and two, with two final exam periods and a make-up period on day three. Four days have been scheduled to accommodate potential winter weather issues. The exact schedule for final exams will be confirmed on December 15. See schedule below.
Most classes, with the exception of Physical Education classes, will have a concluding experience to end the semester such as portfolios, projects, end of unit exams, traditional final exams, AP practice exams, or performance assessments. By now teachers should have communicated the course specifics final experience expectations to students. In order to give a more flexible format for students and teachers, each period will meet once for 90 minutes during the FINAL DAYS in order to wrap up the year in a format that is appropriate for that class.
SAFTEY & SECURITY SYSTEM TRIAL
As part of a continued effort to improve the safety and security of our Barrington High School learning environment, the District has approved the trial use of a concealed weapon detection system. The trial period will occur Wednesday, December 14 - Friday, December 16.
The system we will be utilizing is provided by Evolv Technology, an innovative, touchless, weapons screening system. Evolv detects concealed weapons without the need to hand over personal belongings. The technology is low-profile, and can handle over 60 individuals per minute without the need to adjust the walking pace. For that reason, we look forward to a seamless entry into the building each day during the pilot. Please see the FAQs below for further information.
Is Evolv a metal detector?
No. Unlike metal detectors, manual checks, wanding, or other traditional solutions, Evolv offers a touchless screening system through the use of safe, ultra-low frequency electromagnetic fields and advanced sensors.
Is this technology safe?
Yes. Evolv has been safety tested and meets all FCC, UL, and ADA requirements. The extremely low-frequency waves are similar to the electronic anti-theft systems, widely used in retail settings for loss prevention.
What does the system look like?
The Evolv system screens individuals as they pass between two columns, similar in size to systems you might see at local retail stores.
