Grading & EOC's
If your child is currently enrolled in either Geometry, 9th grade Composition/Literature, Economics or Physical Science, which at the start of the school year had an EOC scheduled to count 20% of their final course average. Due to changes made by the GA Department of Education and State School Board, EOC tests in Geometry, 9th grade Composition/Literature, Economics and Physical Science will be eliminated this school year. We wanted to make you aware that if you see your student’s course average change, it is because of the required adjustments that are being made to grade books by teachers of these courses. In Power School, you will soon see a Final Exam worth 10% of your student’s final course average, rather than the original EOC worth 20% of their final course average.

Final Exams & Exam Exemption
Final exams will be administered on Thursday, December 17 and Friday, December 18 during the first two blocks of each day. Students have the opportunity to exempt some or all of their exams based on grades, discipline and being clear of obligations. Each week, advisors check the Obligations List to remind students to take care of any detentions they need to serve, forms they need to return or fines/fees that are owed. We have many students (eLearners and face-to-face) on the Obligations List because they have not returned the Demographic Sheet and Health Card. Please check with your child’s advisor to be sure he or she is clear of the Obligations List. Extra forms can be picked up in the office.

Health & Safety Reminders:
- If your student is not feeling well, please do NOT send them to school. With concurrent learning they have the opportunity to take advantage of the curriculum even when not present - they can log into their google meets.
- Face Coverings are to be worn at ALL times while on campus, when lunch is not being consumed.
- Congregation before/after school is strongly discouraged. If we want to maintain in-person schooling it is important that we ALL work together to make this happen.
- If your child is unable to attend school due to COVID-related symptoms please be sure to contact the school to speak with the nurse: (tparker@bryan.k12.ga.us or dfoster@bryan.k12.ga.us) - All attendance related notes should be submitted to Ms. Carolyn Oetjen via email at (coetjen@bryan.k12.ga.us)
- eLearners are expected to follow the same schedule and meet the same expectations regarding timely arrival, interactions, assignment completion, etc. as their in-person counterparts.

Tutoring
Senior Meetings
Counselors have now started senior meetings. Seniors are to schedule their own meetings with their counselor via pick-a-time. These will be held at various times of the day. Please keep in mind it is the senior who chooses the time and schedules their appointment. Seniors are responsible for remembering their scheduled appointment, and excusing themselves from class for the meeting. To avoid repeated interruptions, counselors will not be calling into classrooms for seniors to make their appointment. Click Here and reserve your time at the bottom left hand side of the webpage.
