BHS December Newsletter
Liberators are "Learning for Life"
Semester Finals are December 14-19
All classes at BHS are required to give a semester final. The final exam may be comprehensive or may be a unit test. The final might also be a project, or presentation, or a written response to a writing prompt.
Requests to take finals early
All students are expected to be present in classes throughout finals week; however, occasionally there are unavoidable circumstances that require a student to miss one or more finals. In that case, students must complete a pre-arranged absence form and have it signed by a parent. The student will then need to present the form to one of the principals for approval. Once approval is granted by administration, the student will take the pre-arranged absence form to each teacher to request an alternate date for taking finals. Finals must be scheduled at a time that is satisfactory to the teacher.
Finals exempt attendance incentive
Students who have 95% attendance year-to-date will be eligible to opt-out of one semester final.
- The student will have the ability to choose which final they will opt not to take. However, the student must have a grade of at least 80% in order to opt-out of that final.
- Dual-credit courses will not be eligible for the opt-out.
- EOC tested courses will not be eligible for the opt-out.
- Students must follow all procedures to use this incentive. Specifically, students must meet deadlines in presenting their teacher with the opt-out form declaring their intent to not take the final in one class.
