Notes from our Director
Hello DATA community,
There are only two more weeks before the holiday break and the end of our first semester. Several activities are planned and time to close out the 2019 year strong is here.
There is a new exam exemption process for this year and students MUST apply through Skyward during the ONLY window for this process, December 10 through December 11. Please see specifics below for more information on this exemption application process.
There are also a couple different community service hour opportunities this week for our students to take part in. Here is a link for a chance for students to help out on either Tuesday and/or Thursday afternoon this week as we prepare for our 20th Anniversary of DATA celebration in January. There is also a Coffee Talk on Thursday and our annual Gingerbread House event will be this Friday that we hope our students participate in. Semester exams happen next week and the schedule is linked below for you to plan ahead.
Thank you for ensuring good attendance is happening for the rest of this semester.

New Semester Exam Exemption Process
A few important reminders about exam exemptions:
Students who are approved for an exam exemption must still show up to class on the day of the exam.
The exam exemption window is only open for 2 days, December 10 and 11. There are no extensions to the deadline.
Students will only be able to apply for an exemption in the courses they meet the grade and absences criteria.
Course Semester Grade average 95 or above means students must have 3 or fewer absences per course and 3 or fewer tardies per course.
Course Semester Grade average 90 - 94 means students must have 2 or fewer absences per course and 2 or fewer tardies per course.
Course Semester Grade average 85 - 89 means students must have 1 or fewer absences per course and 1 or fewer tardies per course.
Course Semester Grade average 80 - 84 means students must have 0 absences and 0 tardies per course.
- Students can only appeal for courses, within the Skyward system, where they do not meet the criteria due to absences that are coded X - extenuating circumstances.
Students can apply for a maximum of 3 exemptions. If they submit an appeal, that counts as one of their 3 exemptions even if the appeal is denied.
REMINDER - Community Service Hours Need to be Turned In
If you have service hours that you need to turn in, please remember to bring them to Ms. Tiller in the DATA office. If you put your hours into Skyward, please be sure to print a hard copy of them off and bring that copy to Ms. Tiller. All seniors MUST have 100 hours over the course of the four years to be able to graduate from DATA. There will be several opportunities coming up for students to give back to DATA and earn hours of service here on campus. Stay tuned for those opportunities.
