2022-2023 Final Exam Exemption Procedures
Juniors and Seniors are eligible to earn TWO final exam exemptions by adhering to the requirements listed on this document. These exemptions apply to the spring semester only. All students must take all midterm exams in December. Additionally, freshmen and sophomores are not eligible exam exemptions.
How to earn an Exemption:
Grades: Must have a year-long average of an 85% or above for the specific class you are wanting to exempt. Grades will be calculated by averaging RC1, RC2, RC3, and the RC4 average as of May 5th at 4:15pm.
Attendance: Students can have no more than 5 tardies in the specific class they want to exempt beginning on October 13, 2022.
Honor Code: No Tier 2 or Tier 3 honor code violations. Students with a Tier 2 violation cannot exempt the class for which the violation occurred. Students with a Tier 3 violation cannot exempt any classes. This includes additional AP exam exemptions.
AP Classes: Students enrolled in an AP class may earn an additional exemption if they meet all of the exemption requirements listed above and take the AP exam. This applies to sophomores as well.
Exemption Defined: Exempt from the Exam does not mean exempt from attending school.
Failure to attend school during the scheduled exam time will result in the student forfeiting his/her exemption and result in a zero for the exam grade if the student does not complete the makeup exam on Tuesday, May 30, 2023.
More information will be shared in the Spring, including the exemption form that will require signatures from teachers, parents, and the student.
