Students will take their CDF (Common District Final) Exams on Monday and Tuesday. Please see modified bell schedule below.

Please ensure your child gets a good night of sleep the night before, eats a healthy breakfast and arrives at school on time on these dates.

Check in for morning exams is 8AM, afternoon exam check in is 12:05PM. All exams will be in Building 10 (downstairs). If you have an afternoon test, go to first lunch and then check in for testing immediately after first lunch. If you arrive more than 10 minutes late for any test you will not be admitted!

Students must bring a photo ID and blue or black pens to testing (no pencils). Students may not bring backpacks, cell phones, purses or other items into the testing location. Find a secure location for those items prior to arriving for test check in. Water or snacks may only be brought in to the testing room in a clear package without labels.

If you need to arrange for an early dismissal, please do so by sending a note in with your student. The note should be dropped off at the front office prior to their first class and given directly to the attendance clerk. Please do not have them leave it in the attendance basket or on the counter. This will allow time for verification prior to dismissal.

Early dismissals will not be processed after 2:10. This allows for a smooth dismissal process campus-wide.

Phone dismissals are not allowed at any time.

You should be able to go into settings on these accounts and change your email address.
