SEMESTER 1: FINALS SCHEDULE INFORMATION
With the semester coming to an end, I would like to make you aware of our final exam week schedule. Each of your classes have a plan to have either a test, project or presentation as a capstone to the semester. Our last week of the semester will look as follows:
Tuesday, January 17th - regular day of instruction
Wednesday, January 18th - Final Exams, Projects, Presentations
This will be the first day of exams and will run our regular schedule of 50 minute class periods.
This could be a day of instruction if the teacher feels their exam can be administered in one class period
Thursday, January 19th - Final Exams, Projects, Presentations
This will be the second day of exams and will run on our regular schedule of 50 minute class periods.
Friday, January 20th - Exam make-up and other make-up work students may still be eligible to finish before the end of the semester
If a student has completed all of their exams, projects or presentations and has made up all of their work for the semester, they do not need to attend school this day. They will be marked excused in attendance.
We will run a regular schedule this day and buses will run as regularly scheduled also. Students who need to make-up any exams, projects or presentations or need to make-up any work that they still might be eligible to turn in, should attend. Once they have completed their make-up exams or work, they may leave for the day.
If your student receives special education services, they will have access to these services during their regularly scheduled time.
Our hope is that this schedule will allow students an opportunity to balance their exam load and give them an opportunity to finish all of the necessary work before the end of the semester while maintaining some consistency with our 8-12 schedule. Please consult with your teachers if you have specific questions regarding their class and final exams.
