Final Exam Exemption Criteria
Beginning March 1, students who have 3 or fewer absences in a course for the remainder of the semester are eligible to exempt their spring semester exam.
Additional criteria for exemptions are outlined below.
For Northside students in grades 6-12 who are enrolled in courses earning high school credit, students may earn an exam exemption by meeting the following criteria.
1. If the course is a full-year course, the student must have passed the first semester.
2. The student's final average for the spring semester must be a grade of 80 or higher.
3. The student's conduct grade in that class must be satisfactory “S” or better.
4. The student must attend school during the scheduled exam time.
5. The student must have 3 or fewer absences for the second semester (beginning March 1st) and excluding school business absences in the exempted course.
Certain Dual Credit classes can not be exempted from semester exams. If you have questions regarding semester exams in Dual Credit courses, please reach out to your child's Dual Credit teacher.
Please note: Students who are absent during the scheduled exam time will lose the exam exemption criteria and will be required to make up the exam during the first week of summer break.

Technology Accountability
As part of the Northside ISD device lending agreement acknowledged when technology was issued to our students, our families were notified that in the case of lost or damaged technology they would be financially responsible for the following:
the repair cost due to intentional damage or damage due to neglect or accident.
replacement costs due to device loss for any reason or in the event the device is damaged, destroyed or rendered useless while assigned to the student.
We will begin implementing these charges for incidents occurring after March 1, 2022.
See below for more details regarding the charges that could be assessed. If payment is not received, these costs could result in your student’s final report card or transcripts being withheld until the charge is fully reimbursed.
If you have any questions, please contact HCHS Administration for more information. If you’d like to opt-out from your child receiving another device in the future and would like to supply your own technology to them, you may do so using this link to the district opt-out form.
